Management Liability
Professional practices now face a barrage of new legislation and regulation which potentially result in very significant financial exposures. Solicitors are fully aware of the risks arising from their professional duties, but often neglect to consider the liabilities which they assume as a result of their management responsibilities. Cover can be arranged for the principles and senior employees of Partnerships, LLP’s and incorporated firms.
Group Motor
The Richard Thacker Group Car Scheme has been designed specifically for the legal profession. Cover is provided under a single policy for all practice and/or family vehicles and is available to partners, senior staff and their families.
Legal Expenses Insurance
Our bespoke policy for Solicitors provides vital protection against a wide variety of common legal disputes that a firm can face such as employment, health & safety and property. There is also regulation cover that will provide indemnity following an investigation by the SRA or Law Society, together with tax protection which provides cover for both the practice tax return along with partner’s personal tax affairs.
