Insurance is instrumental in helping law firms provide their clients with access to justice
While most policies have historically been purchased by claimants to indemnify themselves against adverse costs, we are seeing greater interest from defendants and for policies that cover own costs.
Law firms are increasingly focussed on their own cash management, and many are looking to insurance to protect their growing portfolios of contingent revenues, recognising that clients require increasingly flexible fee arrangements given their own liquidity concerns.
