ALPS Property & Casualty Advances with OneShield for LawyerCare Management
ALPS Property & Casualty Insurance Company has advanced its operational capabilities by deploying OneShield Market Solutions (OMS) to manage its LawyerCare professional liability policies.
ALPS, a prominent name in lawyers’ malpractice insurance, has effectively replaced its outdated systems with OMS, a modern, cloud-based infrastructure designed to support ALPS's dual distribution strategy after acquiring LawyerCare from ProAssurance in 2025. This strategic shift aims to streamline policy administration within its newly broker-distributed portfolio, enhancing both efficiency and scalability. The transition, accomplished over six months, features configurable workflows and pre-loaded content tailored to ALPS’s demands for quick reconfiguration, allowing the company to rapidly adapt to market conditions.
Industry Impact and Strategic Collaborations
The implementation of OMS not only represents a technological upgrade but also reaffirms ALPS’s commitment to leveraging modern systems for enhanced operational performance. Rex Blazevich, President of OneShield Market Solutions, affirmed the significance of this integration, noting its proficiency in swiftly elevating specialty carriers to contemporary standards. Meanwhile, Michael McCullough, ALPS’s Director of IT, acknowledged the complexities involved, particularly the integration of LawyerCare post-acquisition, and praised the synergistic efforts between ALPS and OneShield that facilitated a seamless transition.
Future Prospects and Technological Enhancements
Looking forward, ALPS and OneShield’s collaboration holds promising potential. They plan to expand their capabilities by integrating claims management into the system and exploring OneShield's AI Hub. These enhancements aim to boost operational productivity and fortify OneShield's influence in the professional liability market, thereby cementing its stature among specialty carriers across the nation.
