In 2023, Lawyers Mutual reintroduced our Community Boards in all three regions of the state: Western, Charlotte/Piedmont, and Eastern, and completed a successful year of meetings. These meetings served as a valuable platform for gathering feedback from insureds to generate new risk management resources. Topics encompassed a wide range of pertinent issues, including talent management and hiring concerns, professionalism among seasoned members of the bar, maintaining civility in the courtroom, navigating eCourts, and the implications of the Corporate Transparency Act.

All three Community Boards strongly encouraged Lawyers Mutual to continue with value-added services, recognizing these offerings are a key differentiator from competitors and a significant factor in insured retention.

In 2023, Lawyers Mutual focused many efforts on Wellness. We initiated a new Wellness article and blog series, publishing articles in our newsletter, and offering CLE programming focused on attorney wellness.

Will Graebe, LM claims attorney and resident wellness expert, wrote and presented numerous CLEs on the benefits of applying wellness activities to a busy law life.  When sharing advice on meditation and mindfulness with his fellow attorneys, Will often draws upon his own experiences while examining the neuroscience behind the practices.
