ARAG - Insuring Justice
ARAG is the UK’s leading legal expenses insurer and was founded on the principle that access to justice should be available to all, not just those who can afford it. ARAG insures more than ten million households and over a million businesses against the costs of common legal disputes and provides a legal advice helpline to all its customers.
This Purpose Coalition report is published at a time when the UK justice system is struggling with huge backlogs of cases. ARAG’s model of providing early, preventative legal advice, supported by insurance for legal costs where litigation is unavoidable, helps to keep unnecessary cases out of the civil courts and tribunals.
The UK distribution model for legal protection, through insurance companies, brokers and solicitors, extends access to justice to many millions in the UK and helps overcome the barriers to opportunity that legal issues can present.
