What is After the Event (ATE) Insurance?
After the Event (ATE) Litigation Insurance is a relatively new type of insurance that protects a Solicitor’s client (usually the claimant but it could be the defendant in a civil legal action) when or after that person or entity becomes aware of the need to litigate to protect their interests. The policy covers the client/Insured against what could prove to be substantial costs that the client/Insured will be liable for should the legal action prove unsuccessful.
