ATE Insurance Brokers

ATE Insurance Brokers

ATE Insurance brokers are experts in the searching for, arranging, and placing of ATE insurance, from the initial enquiry call to the issuing of the ATE insurance policy.

 

To re-cap, an ATE insurance policy is a legal expenses insurance product that protects and covers a client who wants to pursue a legal claim against a defendant, and wants to insure the risk of having to pay their opponents legal costs and disbursements if the case is unsuccessful.

 

In the event that a legal case is lost, the ATE insurance will pay the legal costs and expenses that an opponent or defendant incurs, and the disbursements that the claimant’s lawyer has had to pay to progress the claim. These financial sums can be very significant, and so the correct choice of an ATE insurer is of utmost importance.
