ARAG, a leading provider of legal expenses insurance and assistance solutions, has joined the Association of British Insurers (ABI), strengthening the collective voice of the UK’s world-class insurance sector.
ARAG offers an extensive range of before-the-event and after-the-event legal expenses insurance products through business partners including insurers, brokers, MGAs and other intermediaries. The company is part of the global ARAG Group, the world’s largest legal expenses insurance company, which was founded on the principle that everyone should have access to justice, not just those who can afford it.
By joining the ABI, ARAG becomes part of a community representing over 300 member firms, working closely with governments, regulators, consumer organisations and NGOs to promote the value of the insurance sector and support customer understanding. Together with its members, the ABI drives positive change to protect and build a thriving society.
ARAG is now the UK’s largest legal expenses insurer, and it’s important that our part of the insurance market is represented by and has a voice with the ABI. Legal protection has matured from a differentiating, add-on product to a vital piece of cover for commercial and personal customers alike. It also plays an important role in the broader UK justice system. I’m looking forward to working with the ABI and its 300 members to increase understanding of legal protection and further extend access to justice.
David Haynes
