Who we help

Law Firms

The firm's balance sheet is carrying the case.

How can litigation insurance apply to law firms?

WIP, conditional and contingent fee exposure across a growing book of matters. Litigation insurance may be used here to convert an open-ended downside into a more defined one, depending on policy terms and subject to underwriting. Structures, where available, are arranged case by case.

Key points

  • WIP, conditional and contingent fee exposure across a growing book of matters.
  • Exposure can be measured across costs, capital and judgment risk together.
  • Protection, where available, is arranged around the specific decision being taken, not sold as a package.
  • Jurisdiction can affect how much of the exposure is costs-driven.
