Why is legal protection insurance advisable?

Disputes, whether with business partners or customers, competitors or tenants, are difficult to foresee. Bills for lawyers and court proceedings can quickly mount up. Not just in private life but, more especially, for a business, corporate legal expenses insurance is crucial to cover the financial risks and attendant claims.

A brief guide to Legal protection

For which companies is legal protection insurance recommended?

Essentially, legal protection insurance is vital for every business. Whether dealing with tax law, outstanding bills or unfair competition; with insurance for corporate legal expenses, companies have peace of mind in the event of legal disputes in court.

What does the legal protection insurance for companies cover?

Basic legal protection covers the costs of legal advice in all branches of law. The insurance pays the costs of lawyers and services for up to three legal or debt collection advisory sessions per insurance year (up to CHF 5,000).

For even more insurance protection, basic legal protection can be supplemented with corporate legal expenses insurance and other combinations:

Corporate legal expenses:

Representation of legal interests in connection with the insured business
Payment of the costs of lawyers, mediators, experts, legal and court costs, compensation and bail advances worldwide

Motoring legal protection:

Enhanced contract-related legal protection

As well as the limited contract legal protection provided under corporate legal expenses insurance, the enhanced version offers legal cover in contractual relationships, including: Contract of sale as vendor, agency contract as service provider or contract for work and services as the agent.

Debt collection legal protection (Switzerland and Liechtenstein)

For the collection of receivables in Switzerland as well as Liechtenstein, debt collection legal protection pays the fees for the debt enforcement proceedings and the costs of the instructed collection agency.

Real estate legal protection

As companies will commonly also own or let properties, real estate legal protection is a wise addition to corporate legal expenses insurance. As proprietors, businesses should always be on a secure legal footing vis-a-vis their tenants.
