Legal expense products are a great addition to your client’s existing policy, working cohesively with them to provide that additional cover. As you can imagine, it’s also very useful to your client having access to top legal support if they should need it.

What legal expenses products do Lawshield provide?

Here at Lawshield we cover a wide range of products, and they seamlessly integrate with current motor, landlord or commercial policies.

For example, we offer Motor Elite, Motor Elite Extra. These policies will work alongside your client’s existing motor insurance policy to create all round cover when they need it most.
