Many law firms (and, in particular, larger law firms) choose to purchase separate stand-alone Crime Cover that applies independently of any indemnity provided via various state-based Fidelity Funds. The rationale behind this is four-fold: Fidelity Funds often have the discretion of whether or not to respond to a claim submitted to them There is no certainty that some Fidelity Funds have the financial capacity to respond to major claims An indemnity provided by a Fidelity Fund does not cover any first party (i.e., law firm) losses; and Many law firms would prefer to be discrete in handling Fidelity / Crime related losses, rather than risk a broader knowledge of a claim matter
