Legal expenses insurance covers the cost of defending your company’s legal rights in the main areas where disputes arise, including:

• employment disputes & compensation awards
• attendance expenses (including jury service)
• property protection
• bodily injury
• tax protection
• legal defence

It also provides a 24 hour legal helpline, for advice on:

• Eurolaw
• commercial law
• business assistance

These days, it’s rare for anyone but the largest businesses to be able to afford an in-house lawyer. However, with the huge rise in the amount of business legislation in both the UK and Europe, the potential for legal claims against businesses is increasing all the time.

Even small legal claims can cost thousands of pounds, without taking into account the cost of management time and stress in dealing with the dispute.

Blyth Valley’s dedicated business insurance website provides legal expenses insurance up to a value of £100,000 when the policy is bought alongside office contents, computers or portable equipment cover. You’ll be able to get an instant quote, and if you like the price, you can go ahead and buy online.

If you would like a higher level of cover, please let us know and we will need to arrange a bespoke quotation for you.
