The
importance of legal expenses insurance
Most of us know that
commercial legal expenses insurance is readily available. However,
many of us fail to fully appreciate its significance and
therefore never seem to get round to obtaining it.
Businesses trying to obtain
commercial legal expenses insurance for costs and awards after an
employment or health and safety dispute has occurred find that
they are too late. Then the task of obtaining cover is virtually
impossible. In some cases, the difference between having this
insurance, and not having it, can determine whether or not a
business survives.
The secret therefore, and the single most important factor about
commercial legal expenses insurance, is to be insured before
disputes occur.

Legal Helpline
Many employment and
health and safety legal problems can be resolved by swift and
timely professional advice (i.e. "a stitch in time saves nine").
A commercial legal helpline is available to clients who purchase
the MHAssist on-line employment and health and safety software
system with the insurance cover 365 days a year - over 24 hours.
Advice can be obtained at any time to suit them. As a client, you
would be able to ring this helpline as many times as you would
wish on any commercial matter that may affect your business.
The use of the commercial helpline should not be underestimated.
It has been calculated that for the cost of 1 hour of legal
advice, obtained from a general high street solicitor, you can
obtain 50 hours worth of specialist advice through the legal
helpline without the added time and cost of having to make, and
travel to, legal appointments.
