Litigation Buyout Insurance

Solutions include:

After The Event (ATE) Insurance
An ATE insurance policy covers the insured if they have to pay their opponent’s legal costs and solicitor costs/disbursements incurred as a result of bringing a legal action. ATE insurance is now commonly used more commercially, for example in contractual disputes.

Legal Expenses Insurance
This can cover the insureds’ legal liability for opponents’ costs following an Adverse Costs Order. The insureds’ own disbursements are also insurable.

Security for Costs
This cover helps to address security for costs orders. This solution is especially useful for claimants who lack financial resources or would prefer to avoid committing cash resources.

Appeal Protection Insurance
This cover helps to address security for costs orders. This solution is especially useful for claimants who lack financial resources or would prefer to avoid committing cash resources.

Artibration Award Default Insurance
This removes the risk of non or late payment following a successful international arbitration against a sovereign state. It negates the need for claimants to pursue lengthy and expensive enforcement proceedings.

There are now a number of A-rated insurers with dedicated litigation capacity available globally and per-risk limits of $500m+ are available. In addition, insurers are open to look at risks in a number of jurisdictions.
