ATE Insurance, ATE Litigation Insurance, Legal Costs Protection or After the Event Legal Expenses Insurance are different names for the same product.
Whichever name you choose, ATE is an insurance policy which is purchased once a legal dispute has started and it is designed to protect the policyholder from having to pay their opponents legal costs and disbursements if their legal dispute is unsuccessful.
ATE is not a legal requirement however, litigation is risky and often the best cases lose.
ATE is particularly popular when used in conjunction with “no win no fee” agreements because customers don’t expect to pay anything if they lose.
ATE is suitable for any legal dispute where there is any financial risk to the client.
If a client pay for their own disbursements in advance, and accepts that even if they win their case they might not receive any compensation if they fail to beat a Part 36 offer, then ATE is not required.
Most clients on a “no win no fee” agreement prefer risk free litigation and are often not aware of the risks involved and many are not in a position to fund their own disbursements.
We work directly with Solicitors, Brokers and Litigation Funders and insure numerous types of litigation.
