Lexington Insurance Company, a subsidiary of American International Group Inc., has opened a new online site to provide information to professionals carrying architects and engineers (A&E) liability insurance.

The new Web site, www.lexaehelp.com, was created to provide insureds with access to ongoing education modules, contractual information and legal information resources.

“Because of the specialized liability concerns of architects and engineers, we created www.lexaehelp.com to give our A&E insureds resources specific to their field–including online classes that satisfy state requirements–to assist in mitigating risks and liabilities,” said Kevin Kelley, chief executive officer of Lexington, in a statement.

A free service for Lexington's and New Hampshire Insurance Company's A&E insureds, the site provides architects and engineers with a multitude of risk management and educational resources, ranging from legal information resources to certified online education. Included on the Web site are complimentary continuing education modules.

The classes are approved by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training and satisfy the continuing education credit requirements needed for architects and engineers to retain state licenses.

Class offerings will include construction phase risk management issues, dispute prevention, how to minimize liability in a litigious environment, public project procurement, managing client expectations and tax planning issues. New course offerings will be added periodically, according to Lexington.

The site also has a large section on contracts.
