What is the PLF?

The Professional Liability Fund (PLF) is the mandatory provider of malpractice coverage for lawyers in private practice in the state of Oregon. Every lawyer who is an active member of the Oregon State Bar who engages in the private practice of law with a principal office in Oregon is required to carry PLF coverage as a condition of their law license. As a member of the public who receives legal services from lawyers in Oregon, this means the lawyer working on your case will have coverage for the legal work they perform on your behalf. 

If you believe you have a malpractice claim against an Oregon lawyer, you may want to report the claim or potential claim to the PLF. You can request information on how to report a claim here.
