AFTER THE EVENT LEGAL INSURANCE

We can and do provide After The Event Legal Insurance for a wide range of civil litigation actions. In addition to personal injury and clinical negligence matters we are prepared to review cases involving most areas of commercial litigation including :-

  • contractual disputes
  • landlord and tenant and property disputes
  • copyright and intellectual property disputes
  • construction and engineering disputes
  • professional negligence
  • partnership/company disputes
  • commercial agency disputes
  • banking and financial disputes
  • insolvency related cases

If you need After The Event Legal Insurance and the type of case you are handling is not on the list please contact us for an initial discussion as we have accepted many cases that fall outside these general categories. We believe that it is one of our greatest strengths that we can “tailor make” the policy to suit the vast majority of situations. For more information or if you have any specific queries that need an immediate and direct response please email us or telephone us on 0845 241 2076 and ask for our managing director Bob Gordon.

When considering the use of an After The Event Legal Insurance policy for commercial litigation you need to understand how the policy will deal with the many issues that can and do arise in litigation. If you need a detailed explanation or general assistance in regards to these matters we are only a phone call away. We call these important issues “alerts” – below are some of the most common ones:-

  • What does “winning” mean in my case?
  • Part 36 Offers - how does the ATE policy deal with these?
  • Multiple defendants – what if I win against one & lose against another?
  • We need a non-financial remedy - can I get ATE cover for my case?
  • Multiple claimants – what if some win and some lose. Do the winners have to pay the costs of the losers?
  • What happens if we can’t enforce an award of costs and/or damages?
  • This case has security for costs issues – can the ATE policy help with these?
  • Defendant with counter-claim – how is this dealt with under the policy?
  • Must I act under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) to obtain ATE insurance?
