Competition law disputes insurance

The requirement for competition law disputes insurance is on the increase. Competition claims are inevitably complex, often highly technical and can require high levels of indemnity.

Our litigation insurance provides that protection and gives the client and those representing them the security and space within which to focus on the best possible outcome.
No sensible litigant will embark on a competition claim without Litigation Insurance. Hedging the risk of a loss or the costs consequences of not beating an offer to settle is essential.
It helps to have counsel’s opinion in these cases but it is not essential early in the life of a claim. Expert’s reports, in particular when dealing with quantum, are important to enable us to understand the case and its potential value.
Of greatest importance is the solicitor’s summary of the case and his or her assessment of the merits.

David RomainEgality Law LLP

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.
