All policies offered by our panel of insurers are protected by the FSA Compensation Scheme and can often be deferred until the end of the case and are usually only payable only upon a successful outcome. Only minimal reporting is required by the insurers on our panel and assistance and advice is given on all matters regarding the eventual recovery of the premium.

Premiums are invariably

• Deferred until end of case
• Self Insured
• Highly Competitive
• Discounted to encourage early settlement

So your client will more often than not pay nothing upfront and if the case is lost or abandoned the premium will be waived (subject of course) to the conditions of the policy.

• Solicitors
• Financial Advisors
• Pensions Administrators
• Accountants
• Surveyors
