Property and assets
Business legal protection
Support to defend the interests of the business in a dispute.
The essentials
A dispute with a supplier, a landlord or a former employee can absorb a great deal of energy. Legal protection insurance covers certain costs, depending on the contract, and provides access to lawyers.
It differs from liability insurance: it helps you assert your rights or defend yourself, without compensating a third party.
The situations concerned
- Frequent contractual disputes in your sector.
- Sensitive employment relationships.
- A commercial lease that is important to the business.
- A vehicle fleet and the risk of traffic-related proceedings.
How we support you
- Choosing the legal areas that are useful for your activity.
- Explaining limits, waiting periods and deductibles.
- Help with notifying a case and following it up with the insurer.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions
Does legal protection replace a lawyer?
No. It can fund a lawyer and offer initial support from in-house lawyers, depending on the contract conditions. We do not give legal advice ourselves.
Can a dispute that is already under way be covered?
As a rule, disputes that arose before the contract was concluded are not covered. The precise rules are set out in the conditions.
Are disputes with our employees included?
Employment law is often one of the areas offered, but not systematically. It needs to be checked.
What is the difference from liability insurance?
Liability insurance compensates an injured third party when the business is liable. Legal protection helps the business defend its own interests.
