Hugh James Solicitors is to launch a before-the-event (BTE) legal expenses policy backed by Groupama.
The law firm plans to sell both commercial and individual policies to existing and new customers as part of a complete legal package.
Hugh James partner Hugh Price said: "The idea is to encourage clients to agree a retainer which comes complete with a legal expenses scheme.
"We will be offering customers and affinity partners a tailor-made package."
Price said Hugh James was also looking for a second insurer for the product.
The law firm, which recently launched its Streamline 21 fixed costs scheme, gained FSA accreditation at the end of March for a May launch.
Price said: "One on the reasons we are doing this is we see the future in BTE rather than [after-the-event]."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
