Back to Legal Risk

Insurance is one of the most powerful and most underused tools for managing legal exposure, yet cover is frequently misunderstood until a claim arises and the response disappoints.

This report explains the role insurers can play in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the policies that respond to legal risk, including directors' and officers', professional indemnity, liability and legal-expenses cover.

It covers the notification duties that must be met to preserve cover, and the way insurers influence defence and settlement.

It sets out the scenarios in which cover responds and where it does not, the warning indicators of coverage gaps, and indicative ranges for the protection insurance affords.

It also covers when to involve brokers, coverage counsel and insurers, and how their interests align with, or diverge from, yours.
