On average, a legal claim is made against an employer every five minutes in the UK.  For this reason the specialist employment team at Davies and Partners has launched a new insurance service which will protect businesses against the threat of legal action from its employees.

The new complete insurance service, Total Legal Care (TLC Touch™), has been designed by Davies and Partners in association with Straight Solutions Ltd, an FSA regulated insurance provider.  

As many businesses have tight budgets, TLC Touch™ is being offered to businesses at a fixed and affordable monthly cost. The service also includes the cost of defence and disbursements and unlike many legal services, the integrated insurance cover will help ensure that any award of compensation, as well as legal advice and legal representation in court, are all included within the service.

Davies and Partner believe another key benefit of the service is that, unlike many insurance services, TLC Touch™ it is not supported via a faceless call centre.  Instead each customer is assigned one of Davies and Partners specialist and highly experienced employment solicitors, who will look after the business personally, starting with an initial employment health check. The designated business solicitor is then available to call directly on a dedicated TLC Legal Helpline whenever the employer needs advice and support.

Associate Simon Pressdee said, “Employee disputes are expensive in both time and money for any business and we know the threat of legal action is a constant worry for many businesses in the region.  We believe our new service provides businesses with peace of mind and that TLC Touch™ offers a business all the benefits of an in-house legal team, but without the cost.”
