Legal Expenses Insurance

Litigation can pose an unexpected but potentially massive expense for  businesses. Flexible legal expenses insurance from AmTrust helps protect against that risk. 

Litigation is expensive, with significant costs including solicitors, barristers, court fees, expert witnesses, etc. In some cases, the cost of a legal case could seriously jeopardise an individual's personal finances or the viability of a small business. That's why AmTrust International's legal expenses coverage offers peace of mind to individuals and business entities looking to lessen their exposure to the financial toll that litigation can take.  

What Sets AmTrust Apart? 

Legal expenses can be costly and present a serious financial risk for individuals and businesses of all sizes. AmTrust International is a well-known provider of Before the Event (BTE) and After the Event (ATE) legal expenses insurance to help provide our clients with greater peace of mind when faced with litigation.

  • BTE and ATE coverage that adapts to the changing legal environment  
  • A flexible and innovative approach  
  • We can provide products in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world

Flexibility and Customisation

Flexibility is the hallmark of our legal expenses cover. We focus on developing a long-term, two-way relationship with those we insure, and that dedicated approach enables us to offer coverage adapted to the insured's needs. Instead of imposing a one-size-fits-all approach on our clients, we look for ways to develop plans that meet each client's unique needs.  
  
AmTrust International's innovative approach to legal expenses insurance coverage has made us a recognised thought leader in the industry. We are active members in a wide range of legal industry bodies, including serving at the board level on the International Association of Legal Protection Insurers (RIAD), the leading industry body for law insurance providers in Europe and worldwide. Our expertise and depth of knowledge in this field allow us to offer coverage that is innovative, collaborative and able to adapt to a changing legal environment.
