Key Insurance Covers

TheJudge offers a diverse portfolio of specialized insurance products designed to safeguard legal expenses and mitigate financial uncertainties associated with litigation and arbitration.

• After-the-Event (ATE) Insurance: ATE insurance provides crucial financial protection against adverse costs, allowing individuals and businesses to pursue their legal claims with greater confidence and without the fear of crippling financial burdens. We offer ATE insurance for own costs and adverse costs, addressing a variety of legal scenarios.

• Contingency Fee (DBA) Insurance: DBA insurance is specifically tailored to cover the risks associated with Damages Based Agreements (DBAs). This innovative type of insurance protects law firms and their clients by providing a financial safety net against potential losses in cases where the contingent fee arrangement might not result in a financial reward.

• Judgement Preservation Insurance: Providing comprehensive protection against the financial ramifications of potential unsuccessful judgments, Judgement Preservation Insurance stands as a crucial safeguard for individuals and businesses engaged in high-stakes litigation.

• Other Specialty Legal Risks: TheJudge's expertise extends beyond ATE and DBA insurance to encompass a wide range of other specialized legal risk covers. We carefully assess each client's unique requirements and develop tailored solutions to address specific needs, encompassing a broad spectrum of legal contingencies.
