Employment disputes insurance to protect your business
Rather than getting caught out by the unbudgeted cost of an expensive employment tribunal case, employment disputes insurance is a simple, preventative solution.
Our insurance policy protects you against the cost of employment tribunals, legal fees, settlements and awards should your business face an employment dispute. You’ll have the flexibility to design your own bespoke policy tailored to your exact requirements and budget.
Here are just some of the benefits:
- greater financial security
- instant access to legal support and insurance protection when faced with ACAS conciliation disputes and employment tribunal claims
- minimisation of your exposure to unexpected financial loss, capping all your employment litigation costs
cover for any damages awarded by an employment tribunal - a sensible and commercial approach to claims – our insurance product will not pressure you to settle all and any claims
- automatic access to us as your legal representative in the proceedings rather than an unknown ‘panel’ firm appointed by insurers
If a claim is made against you, we’ll work with you and our insurers to respond to the claim and handle employment tribunal and court representation all the way through to trial.
