The declines came even as primary insurers sought increases but were prevented from realizing them by a "highly competitive market environment." E&O rates were in the single digits during the fourth quarter of 2009 for financial institutions, Guy Carpenter said, especially on lines that saw major increases a year ago.
Rates were most competitive at mid-size law firms, while the large law firm market did not see similar pressure on rates.
