Why businesses need Legal Expenses Protection

Unexpected legal disputes can be costly at the best of times but it is now more important than ever for businesses to have access to affordable legal representation and advice.

As a client of J Mann Associates’ Human Resources service you already benefit from high quality HR advice and support. But what happens if an employee decides to bring an unfounded claim for unfair dismissal or an allegation of discrimination against you?

No matter how prepared you are there is always the chance that this might happen and your business would be burdened with expensive legal fees to defend such allegations. It is also a fact that even if you are successful in defending such allegations, it is highly unlikely that an Employment Tribunal would award costs to you even though you win.

J Mann Associates have partnered with Composite Legal Expenses to offer clients the ability to purchase a Legal Expenses Insurance policy to cover the professional fees associated with representing your business as a result of an Employment Tribunal Application where you are the subject an allegation of unfair dismissal, unfair selection or unfair discrimination claim.

In the highly unlikely event of us representing you and still losing the policy will also cover any Awards granted by the Tribunal to the claimant up to the policy limit of £50,000.

The Legal Expenses Insurance premium is dependent on the number of employees you employ and whether you have been involved in any previous Employment disputes with annual premiums starting from under £173 inclusive of Insurance Premium Tax.
