Allianz Legal Protection

As a specialist legal expenses provider and part of the Allianz Group, we’ve offered legal protection solutions since 1986.

Through After the Event (ATE) schemes for solicitors, we cover personal injury and clinical negligence claims. Our Before the Event (BTE) solutions for insurers and intermediaries protect personal household and motor customers, as well as commercial motor, business, and property owners.

Designed to cover the legal costs associated with certain legal actions, we provide an extensive range of ATE and BTE solutions.

Provides cover for the legal expenses associated with pursuing or defending certain legal claims. It also ensures that individuals and businesses have access to legal representation in case of a legal dispute.

At Allianz Legal Protection, we distribute BTE insurance via insurers of motor, home or commercial policies, brokers, and specialist outsourced claims handling providers.
 

Provides cover against the financial burden incurred if a legal action is unsuccessful, including opponent's solicitor’s costs, expert reports, barrister’s fees, and court fees. ATE is purchased after the specific legal event - such as an accident, injury, or the initiation of legal proceedings - has occurred.

At Allianz Legal Protection, we provide personal injury and clinical negligence schemes to expert law firms through our Equity, PAID and PAID+ solutions.
