Legal Expenses

Legal Expenses Insurance is a class of business provided by IGI. We have a dedicated class underwriter & specialist team responsible for the development of this class of business, with many years of experience in this field.

We consider commercial risks for both Before the Event (BTE) and After the Event (ATE) Legal Expenses Insurance: -

BTE insurance is written just like other traditional insurances, covering unforeseen events that can occur from time to time.

ATE is a bespoke insurance policy that protects the policyholder (usually the Claimant) from the legal costs of pursuing or defending a legal action.

We can underwrite policies on a direct basis placement, via coverholders, line slips or as a standalone reinsurance placement.
