What's big, yellow and helps businesses
All businesses will have legal problems from employment issues to contract disputes, and they can be unpredictable, expensive and time-consuming to resolve. Our commercial legal expenses insurance offers a cost effective legal cover for businesses to resolve legal issues.
 
  • Employment disputes

    We will pay the legal costs of defending a business against a claim from an employee if there is a reasonable prospect of the defence being successful, and will pay compensation if it is awarded against the business.
  • Contract disputes

    Any kind of dispute or problem with a supplier or customer can have a significant impact on your business. If this happens we will help you to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and the insurer will pay any legal costs involved.
  • Legal advice

    You can call our legal advice helpline and get immediate advice on all legal problems affecting your business, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can also obtain tax-related advice from our tax helpline or use our counselling assistance helpline which is available to your employees and their families.
 
 

In addition to the cover above, here are some examples of how we can help businesses:

  • Legal defence

    A prosecution arising from data protection legislation.
  • Debt recovery

    A supplier fails to pay an invoice on time, causing cashflow problems for the business.
  • Property protection

    A neighbouring business restricts access to the premises.
  • Bodily injury

    A claim for compensation following a sudden accident which causes bodily injury.
  • Tax protection

    A notice of an enquiry into the tax or VAT returns of the business is received.
