Disagreements with staff, suppliers, or clients can occur and could cost your business thousands of pounds in legal fees. In the circumstance that someone wants to make legal a claim against you, legal expenses insurance will protect your business from the cost of the dispute and provide access to critical advice. In the event you wish to make a claim against someone else, you'll also receive cover against legal costs and advice.
