Safeguarding your practice in 2023
As 2023 commences, we offer gratitude to our ever-growing base of new and returning members who remain the focus of our mission and make our Company the extraordinary success that it is today.
During 2022 our membership surpassed the 11,000-attorney milestone, emphasizing our continued evolution and expansion well into our fifth decade of operations.
This sustained membership growth is a testament to both the fortitude of the lawyers of California and the enduring strength of Lawyers’ Mutual.
Growth, combined with innovation and education defines our mutual goals of stability and longevity serving the California legal community. Whether it’s launching new programs such as our Insurance Defense policy, curating topical content through our ever-growing member CLE library, or giving back to our members through our annual dividend for a 26th consecutive year in 2022, we continue to remain totally committed to serving our members.
Rest assured we will continue to invest in pioneering ways to improve our services through deeper member engagement, thought leadership programs, inspiring CLEs and researching new tools to support as many California attorneys as possible.
We appreciate that every year creates new challenges, and are confident that whatever we face, we will face together.

Wire fraud generally involves an attempt to defraud your firm, your client and could damage your reputation.
Before moving forward with disbursement of any funds entrusted to you, consider the following:
Red Flags:
- Receiving an urgent email to disburse funds.
- Communication that does not match original wire instructions.
- Slight variations on an email address of the sender.
- Communication request via email only (without verbal instructions).
- Messages from the sender using incorrect spelling or odd phrases.
- Incoming phone call requests from an unfamiliar contact number.
- Request for an urgent wire transfer after receiving an unexpected check.
Preventative Measures:
- Ensure well-defined protocols are in place for all wire transfers.
- Initiate verbal authorization no matter the urgency of the request.
- Institute electronic security and authentication controls.
- Educate employees on the risks associated with phishing schemes.
- Refer back to your clients’ primary contact information.
- Regularly update spam filters and firewalls.
- Before initiating any wire transfer, always call your client.
Remember wire receipts should be verified either through calling the bank directly or securely logging into the banking portal, rather than solely relying upon an email confirmation of receipt of the wire from your bank.
