Essentially, you will not need to purchase an ATE policy yourself if you make a claim with Legal Expert.

This way, any significant legal costs incurred afterwards will be covered under the policy.
Therefore, you will not need to worry about purchasing an ATE policy yourself when making a claim. To find out more about how to start your claim, please contact our advisory team.
In essence, you will only be responsible for paying an ATE insurance premium if your claim is successful. Therefore, the ATE policy will be deducted from your compensation at the end of your claim.
However, in the event that your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be required to pay for an ATE policy. Ultimately, the policy acts as a safeguard for any outcome of a claim, and covers adverse legal costs and disbursements. Notably, if you’re connected with one of our solicitors, they will work meticulously to try and ensure a successful outcome for your claim.
