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 Connect HR’s Human Resources services you will 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. Connect HR has partnered with Composite Legal Expenses to offer our clients the ability to purchase a Legal Expenses Insurance policy to cover our professional fees in representing your business as a result of an Employment Tribunal Application where you are the subject an allegation of unfair dismissal or discrimination.

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 your current payroll and whether you have been involved in any Employment Tribunals during the past three years but annual premiums start from under £300 inclusive of Insurance Premium Tax.
