What is Chamber Legal Expenses Insurance?
The Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce has arranged Legal Expenses Insurance Cover to protect its Members against unexpected legal fees and financial penalties. This essential benefit is part of your Membership package and includes access to a 24/7 Legal Advice Line.
Provided by Vantage Protect, your business benefits from £1,000,000 worth of cover.
Any business fortunate enough not to have been embroiled in a legal dispute can count themselves lucky. No matter how well you plan and manage your business you never know when you are going to face unexpected, expensive legal and professional fees.
In addition to the many employment related disputes businesses also find themselves having to defend Inland Revenue investigations and HSE prosecutions. Your business could also find itself involved in legal disputes relating to its property or with a Landlord.
