Additional Free Service for Allianz SME Policyholders

Unfortunately, contractual disputes and even professional negligence actions are a part of business life, but it’s not until your company is affected by such a dispute that you can truly appreciate the problems they can cause.

Recession and a turbulent financial climate will mean a difficult period ahead for many businesses. The last thing your business needs is a contract falling through or a dispute with a professional advisor. As the recession bites, a dispute of this kind with no legal protection cover in place could ultimately mean the closure of your business.

As part of your SME policy, Allianz now offers a free-of-charge service to assess the merits of any contractual dispute or professional negligence actions that you may want to pursue, and to advise on the most appropriate legal action. Not only is the advice completely free but should you have a viable case, taking action will cost nothing and is risk free. A specialist solicitor appointed by Allianz will represent you on a "no win no fee" basis and you will be protected against the risk of paying your opponents costs by an Allianz after-the-event insurance policy.

If the case is lost, you won’t have to pay any costs, Allianz will pay litigation costs and disbursements including that of your opponent if awarded against you, up to your selected limit of indemnity.
