ALIA Again Reduces Your Levies

ALIA is pleased to announce that your costs for indemnity coverage will drop again this year. ALIA’s ability to provide coverage to you at a lower cost is a result of: 


  • Reduced claims and associated costs due to Alberta lawyers’ safer practice and ALIA’s effective management of claims
  • Positive returns on ALIA’s investments
  • ALIA negotiating better rates for the indemnity program’s insurance


Combined, your Professional Liability Levy and your Misappropriation Levy are $296 less than last year’s levies (almost a 10% savings). Further, ALIA has negotiated increased coverage for you under the Universal Cyber Coverage Program, without any additional increase in premium.


The annual levies set by ALIA, and the third-party Universal Cyber Coverage Premium payable by each Subscriber for the 2026-2027 policy year (July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027) are as follows:


  • $2,690 for Professional Liability ($220 less than last year’s, a 7.6% decrease) 
  • $110 for Misappropriation ($76 less than last year’s, a 40.9% decrease) 
  • $265 for Universal Cyber Coverage Premium (same as last year’s but with increased coverage)


Invoices for these required payments, plus GST, will be available online through the Law Society of Alberta’s Lawyer Portal before May 31 and must be paid on or before June 30, 2026.
