Legal expenses insurance provides the peace of mind of knowing that your business is protected against legal challenges. It will provide cover for a variety of circumstances.
It covers any legal action brought against your company which you must defend. This includes health and safety disputes, employment disputes and data protection claims.

Legal expenses insurance will reimburse some or all of the costs you incur if you are investigated by HM Revenue and Customs. Typically this would include VAT investigations or issues around tax compliance.
