Specialist underwriter of commercial litigation ATE
Protection for insureds and funders against the costs of a successful opponent in litigation or arbitration conducted in the United Kingdom.
We insure all types of businesses in respect of their disputes, including smaller businesses taking on larger businesses using their financial muscle to avoid legitimate obligations.
We insure a wide range of claims on behalf of insolvency practitioners against former directors, shareholders or others who caused the insolvency.
We insure high net worth individuals, or those who would be but for the defendant's actions, as well as group actions.
We consider a wide diversity of disputes and do not exclude any particular type of claim simply because it does not 'tick a box'.
→Our policies protect the insured and/or funder against liability to pay the costs of a successful opponent in litigation or arbitration conducted in the United Kingdom, including costs from Court applications made during the claim with our prior consent.
Policies can also cover the claimant's own expenses, such as experts' fees, Court fees and counsels' fees, with risks insured from £100k up to £2M, and up to £5M with insurers' agreement.
A non-refundable deposit premium is required, with the remainder typically deferred and adjusted in steps as the case progresses, payable contingent on the outcome or by instalments to keep premiums competitive.
