Allianz Legal Services can save your customers money

Allianz Legal Services in action

Sarah is an office assistant who’s responsible for the storage of all the contracts in the office (employment, client, contractors, etc.). She wants to digitalise their storage locations and, while doing so, conduct an audit to ensure all the contracts are fit for purpose.

Allianz Legal Services can help Sarah complete a contracts audit as she could:

  • access Allianz Legal Online and conduct a legal health check to ensure her company has the correct legal documents and processes in place - if she’s doing an audit, she might as well see what else needs to be done at the same time.
  • upload and store a digital copy of the business’s contracts in Allianz Legal Online’s secure cloud storage facility.
  • confirm her contracts and documents are drawn up correctly by comparing them to our best practice templates.
  • call Lawphone and run through her contract needs.
  • create additional new contracts and then use the free Allianz Legal Online contract review service to ensure they are legally compliant.

Sam runs a residential construction firm. He’s recently completed a project for which he was to be paid in three instalments. Shortly before the third payment was due, the client asked Sam’s builders to leave the property on the grounds that they’d stained the patio with paint and left rubbish on the premises.

The client is now refusing to pay the final instalment.

Sam needs the money to fulfil outstanding invoices from the build and he’s decided to make a claim against his Allianz Legal Expenses policy.

Allianz Legal Services can help Sam with the debt recovery process as he could:

  • access Allianz Legal Online and use our law guide to update his knowledge on the correct debt recovery process.
  • use our debt recovery document templates to ensure that he's acted in accordance with the law.
  • call Lawphone to discuss the matter and, if it's thought Sam has a strong case, make a claim.
  • carry out a business legal health check if he needs to change his contracts for the future.

Justine owns a bus company which services local schools. Recently, one of her drivers took a bus full of children down a country lane into deep flood water and the vehicle had to be evacuated and abandoned.

The company is now being investigated by the local council who are threatening to end Justine’s contract, as the driver allegedly went through a 'road closed' sign. She's also having to deal with the driver's suspension, which is meaning other contracts aren't being fulfilled, cash flow is reduced, and she's having to work overtime to make up for his absence.

Allianz Legal Services can help Justine while her company is under investigation as she could:

  • call Laphone to get advice about her obligations to satisfy the local council and on fulfilling other contracts, and to be referred for help preparing her defence case if she's taken to court.
  • complete the free legal health check, review her business’s health and safety policy and, if needed, create a new one using our template.
  • read about the correct debt recovery procedures within our law guide and sign up to our monthly legal bulletins.
  • use DWF’s crisis communication services to help deal with any negative press coverage.
