Summary Benefits

We arrange Bespoke After The Event Insurance policies for many types of claims

Occasionally, a claim may have slipped through the net and have gone without After the Event Insurance until proceedings are issued. It may be only then that your client turns their mind to the adverse costs and disbursements risk. Sometimes a case may be complex or clearly a multi-track matter from day one.

We are now able to arrange for the insurer to assess these for our Panel Firms and provide a Bespoke ATE Insurance Quote for covering your client’s risk.

Using a simple on-line form, we are able to have the insurer provide you with a Bespoke ATE Insurance quotation within 24 hours. Your file of papers is not required, and there is no application fee. As with all the ATE products we arrange, the aim is to provide clients with a cost effective After the Event Insurance policy with minimal administration for you, their solicitor.

Minimal Reporting for all Bespoke ATE Insurance Policies

You normally only need to tell us when you win, lose or are issuing proceedings. And you do it with just the click of an online button - or let us set up your case management system to do it for you automatically. So that’s it - there’s nothing else to report. You do not have to get permission from the insurer to incur any disbursement or to take any step.

This means you are free to concentrate on what you do best, handling files.

Claims Paid Quickly and in Full

We keep a track of all claims made and can work out how long it is between receipt of a claim form and a cheque being sent out in payment by the insurer. The average is 7 days. If you find any ATE insurer who is quicker then let us know.

Straightforward ATE Insurance Cancellations

If the ATE Insurance Policy premium is no longer required, you can cancel the ATE Insurance Policy for various reasons without charge. Typical reasons are:

• The client ceases to provide instructions
• You believe the claim is unlikely to succeed

This means that there is no risk that you or your client will ever have to pay the ATE insurance premium unless it is required.

Part 36 Cover

If your client fails to beat a Part 36 offer, your disbursements and all adverse costs are paid in full by the After the Event Insurance policy (instead of being deducted from your own costs). And there’s no need to liaise with us about making, rejecting or accepting a Part 36 offer – that’s a decision for you and your client.

We recommend that you check other ATE Insurance Provider’s terms and conditions to see if they match this.
