Must I be a member of The Florida Bar, to apply for, and participate in the insurance & retirement programs? Yes, participation in the programs requires an active membership in the The Florida Bar. Member's spouses and employees are also eligible to participate in most plans.

Why should I participate in these programs? The Member Group plans allow individual members of The Florida Bar the opportunity to purchase insurance at group rates with benefits tailored exclusively for attorneys needs. These plans offer benefits and group rates that are not always obtainable for an individual in the open marketplace. Many of the Individual/Specialty programs offer premium discounts, unique added value services, and underwriting concessions as a result of the The Florida Bar's sponsorship.

Can my employees participate in these plans? Many of the plans for members are also available to your employees. The member group plans work very effectively as an employer paid or even voluntary employee benefit for your firm. Plans that are voluntary allow you and your employees to enroll without minimum participation requirements, which would typically be required in order to offer a group plan as an employee benefit. The group plans work great as a benefit to offer your employees group-style benefits and group rated plans on a voluntary basis.
