Employment Disputes Insurance

Comprehensive legal expense insurance cover you can offer to your clients

Offer your clients the option of a cost efficient employment risk management package

Protection against the cost of employment tribunals, legal fees, settlements and awards

Employment Disputes Insurance cover from Albion Legal is designed to give law firms the capacity to offer clients who are employers the option of a cost efficient employment risk management package with a budgeted annual cost.

This guarantees your clients’ compliance obligations and gives them access to expert advice on day-to-day employment issues. It includes an indemnity for any legal fees, awards or settlements that arise if your clients have a dispute. It could save them substantial amounts of money in the long run.

This Employment Protection Scheme is an important component for UK law firms to protect clients and also maximise its benefits as a sales tool so they can consolidate their existing client base and attract new business.

An additional benefit of the policy is that it is fully controlled by the law firm, not the insurer. This ensures clients have flexibility and certainty when dealing with employment issues. Few other schemes in the market offer this facility.

Our policy is unique in the way it covers the costs and settlement for ACAS Compulsory Conciliation, and it can also be extended to cover Pursuit costs when enforcing employees’ restrictive covenants.

If you are a client, we can also introduce you to one of our partner law firms to provide the Employment Disputes Insurance and ensure you fully protect your business.
