Many clients simply do not have the financial resources to pursue a commercial legal dispute where losing could result in a liability to pay their opponent's substantial costs. This could have a serious and long lasting effect on their business or personal finances.

Although this is particularly true of smaller clients, even larger clients can suffer irretrievably when faced with a substantial unbudgeted expense. For the business client, ATE insurance can assist in planning budgets and forecasts, avoiding the need to consider uncontrolled liabilities and expenses.

Keystone's 'CommercialProtect' ATE policy provides your client with cover for own disbursements and opponent's costs. The client is thus afforded the opportunity to pursue a claim with financial backing should the worst happen.

• Our premiums are competitive and deferred until the conclusion of costs negotiations.
• Staged premiums enable us to keep the cost low on simple, straight forward cases that settle without litigation.
• The policy covers the premium in the event of the claim failing.
• Up to £100,000 limit of indemnity.
• Cover can be obtained at any time throughout the life of the case.
• Unlike policies provided by some other insurers the client continues to be covered for adverse costs after a Part 36 offer, without any offset clauses.

Commercial ATE insurance can be provided for a range of commercial disputes, including:

• Contract
• Construction
• Employment
• Insolvency
• Non payment / Non performance
• Intellectual property
• Professional negligence
• Property
• Sale of goods
• Subrogated Recovery
