WHY USE US?

You might already have legal expenses insurance cover before the problem that needs legal resolution even arises. The insurance industry calls this 'before the event' cover (BTE).

Sometimes you get this for free as part of household or car cover. Or it might be a perk of your employment or trade union or hospital fund membership for example. You might not even realise you have it, so check! If in doubt bring the insurance document to your lawyer so they can check.

If you do have such cover, it is important you let your lawyer know as soon as possible. This is because almost all insurance companies will only reimburse you costs incurred with their prior approval, and a lawyer will charge for work done to get the insurance company to provide this cover (it is not always easy!).

Also these policies are frequently very limited in what they cover, and they include restrictions on freedom of choice of a lawyer and do not provide full cover for the lawyer's normal hourly rates and other charges. So you might end up having to top it up.
