Frequently asked questions
- What does legal expenses insurance cover?
- It covers solicitors' fees, counsel fees and court costs for specified legal disputes—typically employment, contract, property, tax investigations and regulatory matters. A legal advice helpline is usually included.
- Can I use my own solicitor?
- Policies typically use panel solicitors for cost efficiency, but you have the right to choose your own solicitor once proceedings are issued. Panel firms are pre-vetted specialists in relevant areas of law.
- Is legal expenses insurance a standalone policy?
- It can be either standalone or added to existing commercial combined or liability policies. As an add-on it's often very cost-effective, and standalone policies offer broader cover for businesses with higher legal risk.
