Pensions Insight

Arc Legal Assistance has secured two legal expenses schemes for e-Underwriting, the new division of OIM Underwriting Limited, to provide cover as part of its household and property owners portfolios.

Arc Legal’s Family Legal Protection product offers a full range of covers including consumer pursuit and defence; personal injury; and criminal prosecution defence. The legal expenses insurance and rent guarantee (LERG) product for landlords covers disputes with tenants; non-tenancy related property disputes; criminal prosecutions; and rent cover when a tenant defaults.

Arc Legal director Frank O’Malley said: “Our selection by e-Underwriting strengthens our position as one of the leading market providers of legal expenses insurance and rent guarantee (LERG)insurance for landlords. It also demonstrates our commitment to delivering market-leading products and service.”

e-Underwriting’s underwriting manager Natasha Pettet said: “Arc Legal has strong and proven product propositions across their personal and landlord legal expenses portfolios. Their service-oriented approach and clear understanding of the needs of the landlords was an important factor in selecting them.”
