Professional Negligence ATE Insurance

No up-front payments.
Up to £2m cover per case.

Levelling the Playing Field for Claimants

Temple has a wealth of experience providing ATE insurance for those bringing professional negligence claims.

ATE insurance puts litigants on an equal footing. We bear the risk of paying adverse costs and a client’s own disbursements, so they are free to take on any opponent no matter how large or well-resourced.

Our insured clients range from private individuals acting alone or as part of a group action to large commercial clients pursuing claims against professional advisers.

Wilson Browne Solicitors have a long-standing arrangement with Temple Legal Protection to provide litigation insurance cover for our property litigation clients. It is extremely straightforward to use, the policy quite simply works and it is comforting for clients to have the option of disbursement funding in addition. All in all the whole thing is a bit of a ‘no-brainer’, especially for clients who are naturally concerned about the financial risks when undertaking litigation. Once in place the policy gives both us and clients great peace of mind: it allows us to get on and deliver on our promise of being “all the help you need.

Temple Legal are brilliant.  Jamela and her team have a deep understanding of litigation and legal risk. They are responsive to client requirements throughout and have developed a user-friendly platform for case updates.

Securing ATE insurance cover from Temple Legal provides enormous comfort to libel defendants. It is a key factor in their decision to defend claims against them as it insulates them from the risk of paying opponents’ legal costs.

We look forward to working with Temple Legal again soon.

We and our clients have used Temple for ATE insurance on many occasions. Most recently we acted for a liquidator pursuing claims to recover assets for the liquidation estate. After lengthy and heavily contested litigation, ultimately settlement was achieved at mediation. That settlement was only possible with the assistance of Temple’s direct, pragmatic and commercial approach. This was much appreciated by both us and the client.
