ATE cover for most civil claims
We arrange After the Event insurance across a wide range of litigation and arbitration. If your case type is not listed, contact us and we will check the market.
Commercial and contract disputes
Breach of contract, unpaid invoices, shareholder and partnership disputes, and other business claims where an adverse costs order could be significant.
Professional negligence
Claims against solicitors, accountants, surveyors, financial advisers, architects and other professionals whose advice or work has caused a loss.
Personal injury
Road traffic, employer and public liability claims, including serious and catastrophic injury cases that fall outside fixed recoverable costs.
Clinical negligence
Claims arising from medical treatment, where expert evidence is central and disbursements can build up early in the case.
Insolvency
Claims brought by insolvency practitioners, including wrongful and fraudulent trading, preference and transaction at an undervalue actions.
Property and construction
Boundary and land disputes, landlord and tenant matters, building defects and construction contract claims.
Employment
Employment tribunal and High Court claims, including restrictive covenant and team move disputes.
Intellectual property
Trade mark, copyright, patent and passing off claims, where costs exposure can be high relative to the value of the claim.
Financial mis-selling
Group and individual claims relating to mis-sold financial products and investments.
Group actions
Multi-party and collective claims, where cover can be structured across the claimant group.
Arbitration and appeals
Arbitration proceedings and appeals, including defence cover and cover for claimants who have won at first instance.
Defendant cover
In selected cases, cover can be arranged for defendants facing a claim, protecting against the cost of defending it.
Cover is subject to insurer assessment of each case. We arrange cover for claims in England and Wales and can discuss cases in other jurisdictions on request.
Other ways we can help
Alongside ATE, we can discuss related protection for claimants and businesses.
Security for costs
Where a court orders a claimant to provide security, an ATE policy with an anti avoidance endorsement may be accepted in place of a cash payment.
Commercial legal expenses
Annual cover that protects a business against the cost of future disputes.
