Supplementary Legal Expenses Insurance cover is designed to provide protection in relation to legal costs to the organisation itself, where a claim has been lodged against the organisation itself rather than a director or officer personally. It generally supplements a Directors and Officers Liability policy.

Businesses are exposed to a number of legal risks not covered by stand alone policies. Compensation can be sought for events and actions that include bodily injury, pollution, insured v insured, organisation v insured and substantial shareholder claims. Supplementary Legal Expenses insurance will provide comprehensive legal expenses cover for these exposures.
