From <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-contracts\/avoid-business-disputes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contractual disputes<\/a> to tax and employment issues, LE helps with those worrisome bills. That means financially, and legally, you\u2019ll be sorted.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re in a dispute with a client, supplier, or former employee, your legal expenses insurance can really save the day. It\u2019s a bit like having a superhero lawyer at your beck and call. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does commercial legal expenses insurance cover?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own a small business, legal protection insurance should be on your radar. It\u2019ll cover things like solicitors\u2019 and barristers\u2019 fees, court costs, attendance expenses, accountants\u2019 fees, or the cost of an appeal when you\u2019re in a sticky legal situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contract disputes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contracts are the glue that holds everything together. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/what-to-do-when-clients-dont-pay-on-time-how-to-get-your-invoices-paid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what happens if one party doesn&#8217;t hold up their end of the bargain?<\/a> A contractual dispute, that\u2019s what. Luckily, business legal protection can cover legal fees to resolve any messy disagreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employment disputes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Claims of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-dismiss-an-employee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unfair dismissal<\/a>, discrimination, and employment contract disputes can take the wind out of your sails. But having legal expenses cover will pay to fight your corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tax and Health &amp; Safety investigations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the taxman and the health and safety officer, it\u2019s important you play by the rules. But it\u2019s not always that easy. If you find yourself in too deep, guess what\u2019ll be there to dig you out of a hole\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jury service attendance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s our legal duty. But it can be a right pain in the proverbial when it drags on for weeks and you\u2019re losing money. Business legal protection insurance can cover your losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What else should I know about business legal expenses insurance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important thing to note is that commercial legal expenses insurance providers will only agree to help fight your battle if they think they have a 51% chance (or more) of winning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, if you\u2019ve done something wrong and the insurer knows it, they\u2019re not just going to pay out for your mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you\u2019re a builder, and you order materials from a supplier. But the materials never show. And now you\u2019re out of pocket. The supplier won\u2019t return your calls. Or reply to your emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty clear-cut. You\u2019re owed those materials, or your money back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if it\u2019s a little muddier? If you <em>are<\/em> the supplier, and you owe a customer, you can\u2019t expect business legal expenses to bail you out, regardless. You\u2019ll need to prove that you\u2019ve got good reason for withholding materials or money and that you\u2019re in the right. Otherwise, your legal expenses won\u2019t cover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing. It\u2019s a good idea to call your broker or insurer as soon as you know there\u2019s a problem. Waiting too long can scupper your chances of getting it covered, as the insurer can\u2019t assess whether they have a reasonable chance of winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is business legal expenses insurance important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because legal costs can be astronomical. And most of us don\u2019t have that kind of money going spare. Or the expertise to fight our own legal battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you own a business, disputes are often unavoidable. No matter your size, or how well you run it. So, paying a little each month for legal expenses insurance to back you up makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most commercial legal protection insurance policies include access to a legal helpline that you can call any time for expert advice. Sometimes that\u2019s all you need to avoid things escalating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it does come to blows, and a dispute ends up in court, it\u2019ll cover your costs there too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to overlook the importance of legal expenses insurance for businesses. It\u2019s a common misconception that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/professional-indemnity-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional indemnity insurance<\/a> will mop up all your legal fees. But that\u2019s most certainly not the case, so more on that next\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does other business insurance cover legal fees?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. And no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional indemnity will only cover your legal fees if you\u2019re accused of negligence, breach of confidence, or something along those lines. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/what-to-do-when-clients-dont-pay-on-time-how-to-get-your-invoices-paid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">If someone simply refuses to pay you<\/a>, without wanting to make a larger claim against you, that\u2019s where legal expenses insurance will act as a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/employers-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employers\u2019 liability insurance<\/a>, it\u2019s a similar story. It\u2019ll only cover you for more serious issues, like personal injury or property damage, for example. Business legal protection insurance is what will help you in a contractual dispute, and with things like unfair dismissal claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For things like tax or health and safety investigations, there are no types of business insurance that can help if you&#8217;re found to be at fault (and fined). Other than covering your legal representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to get business legal expenses insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said earlier, commercial legal expenses insurance is an add-on. That means it can\u2019t be bought as a standalone insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/professional-indemnity-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional indemnity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/public-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public liability<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/employers-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employers\u2019 liability insurance<\/a> in place to add legal expenses insurance to your policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re just starting out or you&#8217;ve been in the game for a while, adding legal expenses insurance is a smart move.
