Why legal insurance?
Employees and their families face many legal matters in life, from the things they plan for, like buying a home, to the unexpected, such as a traffic ticket or a contractor dispute. Many times they don’t realize how an attorney could help make things easier, but instead, spend their own time and money trying to resolve the issue — which impacts their overall well-being and productivity at work.

Legal insurance means added protection and peace of mind for employees — and a more productive workforce for you. See how offering a legal insurance plan can create a win-win situation for all involved.
