All legal firms in England and Wales are required to have professional indemnity insurance, covering civil liability claims such as professional negligence. Existing firms had to renew their insurance by the start of the indemnity period on 1 October, after which the single renewal date was abolished.

According to the LSB, ABSs are more productive, better at dealing with complaints about service and more innovative than traditional law firms.
