Legal expenses
Legal expenses insurance for selected business legal costs.
Legal expenses insurance can provide access to specified legal-cost cover for insured events, subject to the policy wording, limits, exclusions and any panel-lawyer requirements.
What the cover may include
Depending on the insurer and policy, cover may be available for selected employment disputes, tax matters, property disputes, contract disputes or other defined legal events. Cover is not a substitute for broad professional indemnity, management liability or liability insurance.
Important limitations
Policies can contain waiting periods, prospects-of-success tests, sublimits, panel-lawyer requirements and exclusions for known or existing disputes. The exact wording should be reviewed before relying on the cover.
