Legal expenses insurance
A legal dispute can arise more quickly than you might think. A disagreement with a customer, an unpaid invoice, a conflict with a supplier, or an inspection by a government agency can lead to a complex and costly procedure.
With a legal assistance insurance for your business, you have access to legal advice and financial support when you become involved in a dispute. The insurance helps you defend your rights and limit the costs of a procedure, allowing you to stay focused on your business activities.
What is legal expenses insurance?
A legal assistance insurance for businesses provides legal and financial support when your company becomes involved in a dispute. This may involve conflicts with customers, suppliers, employees, government agencies, or other parties.
The insurance generally provides for:
- Legal advice when you have questions about your rights or obligations
- Mediation to resolve a conflict amicably as quickly as possible
- Assistance in legal proceedings if an amicable solution proves impossible
- Reimbursement of legal costs, such as lawyers’ fees, expert reports, and court costs
A separate legal assistance policy often provides broader and more independent protection than a limited legal assistance guarantee that is part of another insurance policy.
What are the benefits?
Covers legal costs such as lawyer fees, expert assessments, and court costs.
Covers mediation and legal assistance with conflicts involving customers, suppliers, or partners.
Covers the defense of your company in criminal or administrative proceedings.
Covers the recovery of damages when a third party causes damage to your company.
Who is this insurance for?
A legal expenses insurance policy is relevant for almost every business. Legal disputes can occur in any sector and can affect both small and large companies.
This insurance is suitable for, among others:
- SMEs and large enterprises
- Self employed professionals and liberal professions
- Trading companies and service providers
- Construction, installation, and manufacturing companies
- Organizations with staff, contracts, or suppliers
The content of the policy is always tailored to your sector, activities, and risk profile. This way, you get a solution that meets the legal challenges of your business.
What is covered and what is not?
What is covered depending on the chosen plan?
- Disputes with customers or suppliers
- Contractual disputes
- Recovery of damages
- Criminal defence for unintentional offences
- Administrative or tax disputes
- Disputes relating to real estate or commercial premises
What is not covered?

How much does this insurance cost?
The premium for a legal assistance insurance depends on several factors, such as:
- The sector in which your company operates
- The size of your company
- The number of employees
- The type of legal risks
- The desired coverage and insured amounts
Companies with complex contracts or higher legal risks generally require broader coverage. For this reason, a legal assistance policy is usually tailored to fit your business.
