Why your clients need litigation insurance for property disputes

Property Litigation Insurance can be used for many kinds of commercial and residential property disputes.

We have considerable experience and expertise in property litigation and partner with a number of leading property litigators across the country.

Litigation insurance enables clients who have a legitimate concern about the risk of paying an opponent’s costs if their claim fails to take those cases forward in the knowledge that we have insured that risk. Litigation insurance is ideally suited to the needs of developers, lenders, commercial and residential landlords and tenants.

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.

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.
