Legal Protection Insurance:
Reliable Protection in All Legal Matters

Commercial legal protection insurance is essential for businesses and self-employed individuals. It provides security and financial protection in legal disputes, whether it's labor law, contract disputes, or liability claims. This coverage is also international for foreign business and travel, not only covering lawyer and court costs but also supporting mediation processes.

Particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises with up to 200 employees, corporate legal protection is of great significance. Often, these companies lack their own legal department or legal expertise, making them vulnerable in legal disputes.

Commercial legal protection insurance acts as a shield for your business, saving you from the significant costs of legal disputes and, in serious cases, even averting insolvency. It allows you to run your business without constant worry about legal risks.

Unexpected situations can arise in professional life – even for executives. Criminal legal protection insurance secures companies and self-employed individuals against criminal allegations. It covers the costs for lawyers, experts, and witnesses and provides interest-free bail.

Criminal legal protection insurance offers a comprehensive shield, allowing companies and self-employed individuals to focus on their professional activities without constantly worrying about the financial risks of criminal challenges. With this protection, you can act confidently and protect yourself from the financial consequences of criminal prosecutions.

On German roads, a traffic accident occurs on average every 12 seconds. Especially for companies employing numerous field staff and drivers, or where business trips with company-owned vehicles are routine, will sooner or later face an accident.

Traffic legal protection for company vehicles is an indispensable safeguard for companies, self-employed individuals, and freelancers whose daily professional routine includes trips with company-owned cars. Traffic legal protection insurance is cross-industry and provides protection for both individual vehicles and complete fleets.

The constantly increasing number of laws and regulations in areas such as data protection, IT, and tax law heightens the risk of companies being embroiled in criminal investigations. In particular, managers in companies are in the public spotlight and bear a special personal responsibility, including organizational liability. They make decisions daily, the long-term consequences of which are not always predictable, and can quickly be confronted with allegations of financial damage.

The "Act on Control and Transparency in the Business Sector" (KonTraG) has intensified the liability of corporate officers. Supervisory boards are increasingly under scrutiny for liability, especially if they neglect their supervisory duties, causing damage to the company. In serious cases, managers are personally liable with their private assets for breaches of due diligence, particularly in the area of internal liability towards the company. Safeguarding their legal interests can incur substantial costs.

This is where Financial Loss Legal Protection Insurance comes into play. It offers both judicial and extrajudicial protection when the insured is confronted with claims for compensation for financial losses due to their professional activities. In this way, it provides comprehensive protection for managers in an increasingly complex and high-risk business world.

Employment Contract Legal Protection Insurance offers crucial protection for managers facing removal from office. The termination of an executive contract differs from a regular employment relationship and often leads to disputes over severance payments and other compensations. This insurance covers conflicts related to contract interpretation and takes over the attorney fees.

Conventional professional legal protection insurances usually exclude disputes over employment contracts of board members. The high responsibility of managers can lead to expensive liability claims that go beyond the scope of the usual legal protection insurance.

Employment Contract Legal Protection Insurance is especially important for managers in corporations and legal entities like GmbH or AG, who want to ensure a successful exit from the company.

There are many scenarios in which a board member can be suddenly dismissed, including criminal investigations, changes in shareholder structure, and disagreements about corporate direction. In the case of contract termination, an experienced lawyer and a legal protection policy for employment contracts are essential.

Compliance Legal Protection Insurance is a risk management product for companies, offering financial security to cover the costs of internal investigations.

The insurance takes effect when company management conducts internal investigations due to a justified suspicion of compliance violations, regardless of whether authorities such as public prosecutors or antitrust authorities are already investigating.

The policy covers the costs of the internal investigation, including attorney fees, tax consultants, auditors, and IT forensics. Companies can freely choose their advisors.

Companies need insurance for compliance investigations, as criminal misconduct in the company can lead to significant costs, even for less severe regulatory violations. Neglected compliance can lead to legal and financial consequences, while documented actions can mitigate penalties. Companies that fail to conduct internal investigations risk higher fines and balance sheet problems that can threaten their existence.
