Why do we offer this cover?
Many Commercial Combined,
Office or Property Owners policies offer similar cover as standard, embedded
within the insurers own suite of policy covers. However, we have noticed that
not all policies include this valuable cover, so at GM Insurance Brokers, we
have teamed up with DAS to provide this cover to our clients.
The high cost of legal advice,
coupled with increasingly complex and changing employment legislation, means
few companies have the resources or expertise to defend themselves against
legal action.
Employees are increasingly
aware of their rights and, encouraged by several high-profile cases and
increasing media coverage, are more likely to take action if they lose their
job or consider they have been discriminated against.
Would you know what to do if:
- Your company was taken to an
employment tribunal?
- Your company was subject to a
tax enquiry by HMRC?
- The Health & Safety
Executive prosecuted your company following an accident at your premises?
DAS Legal Expenses policy offers
comprehensive cover for the main areas where legal disputes may arise.
Standard cover includes
employment disputes & compensation awards, legal defence, property
protection, bodily injury and tax protection. In addition, optional covers
include statutory licence appeal, contract disputes and debt recovery.
The cover provided under the
DAS Commercial Legal Expenses is off the shelf and we have seen that it is not
always suitable for every business. We have also found that sometimes, the
cover needs to be tailored for your own specific requirements.
Please feel free to talk to
one of our professional advisors if you would like an in depth review of this
cover and to find out if it is suitable for your business.
