Household insurer, Hiscox Direct, has gained the endorsement of the Law Society for its home cover policy.

The Law Society awarded the seal after conducting detailed analyses of claims handling and payment.

The society said it was impressed with the level of cover offered as standard by Hiscox on its policies.

Richard Pearce, head of services to the profession at The Law Society, said: "We are pleased to endorse Hiscox's household insurance cover, which our research shows to offer a high standard of service for both cover and claims. Hiscox has certainly proved itself worthy of our support and I am confident our members will welcome its service."

Kevin Kerridge, a director of Hiscox Direct, said: "We are delighted to receive endorsement from the Law Society in recognition of the high quality service we are able to offer lawyers.

By focusing on individuals who are less likely to generate claims, we are able to offer advantageous benefits to professionals both in terms of cost and service.

"Our clients benefit by getting superior protection for often the same price or less than they would from a standard insurer."
