The 1099 only represents that the Attorney is working on a contract basis (self Employed) rather than as an employee.

If the attorney is in fact a self employed independent contractor then this likely means that no coverage is afforded by the employer. If this is the case, then it would be a good idea for the Attorney to get some Malpractice or Professional Liability Insurance so there will be coverage in the event of a malpractice suit. Otherwise the attorney will be out of pocket for any related expenses in the event of a claim.

The 1099 itself has no bearing on the attorneys need for Malpractice or professional liability coverage. It only indicates that he or she is a sel employed independent contractor.
