Nobody gets malpractice insurance in house.

I have never heard of IHC maintaining their own coverage. I haven’t at either of my IHC roles. When I registered with my state bar, it actually asks for insurance info, and there’s a space for your insurance info if you’re at a firm, and an “N/A - I’m In-House” option for IHC.
I worried about the same thing. None of the attorneys I worked with had malpractice insurance or identification agreements. They basically said if you screwed up you'd get fired and they weren't worried about being sued

Look to your state’s labor laws. Often employers need to indemnify employees for incurred costs in the scope of their role. Which many have interpreted to cover defense for malpractice claims.

I work for a small NY company and their insurance plans don’t include attorney malpractice :/
Should be part of the insurance policy but it’s not “malpractice insurance”. It will be written a different way to cover all employees.
I have Employed Lawyers Professional Liability coverage. Your insurance broker should be familiar with that coverage and can tell you if you are already covered by something similar.
