The RAG Newsletter – ARAG | Legal Expenses Insurance | arag.co.uk

On the road with ARAG ATE

We’ve held a series of seminars through the summer and into the autumn, talking to practitioners about how the landscape for clinical negligence and serious injury has changed over the 10 years since the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) was implemented, and how ARAG has continued to adapt our ATE policies to meet the changing demands of the sector. 17/10/2023
Flexible solutions for difficult cases

One of the key differentiators on which ARAG has built its success in the UK is the company’s flexibility around products and underwriting. Whether we’re working with an insurer, broker or a solicitor, we recognise that every firm serves different groups of clients, and that we sometimes have to adapt our products to meet their needs. 17/10/2023
Far from ‘fixed’ - changes to Fixed Recoverable Costs continue

While most clinical negligence cases still remain outside the Fixed Recoverable Cost (FRC) regime following the broad expansion that was introduced at the start of this month, it doesn’t look like they will escape much longer. 17/10/2023
ARAG DAY - supporting Bristol Law Centre

Since our business was founded in 2006, ARAG has supported many charities and community organisations, and encouraged staff to provide practical help wherever we can. In June, for example, members of the ATE team climbed Yr Wyddfa in North Wales, otherwise known as Mount Snowdon, to raise money for the charity AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents). 17/10/2023
Adapting for justice

Among the characteristics that we prize most highly, ARAG has always striven to be flexible. But our adaptability is more than just a USP. At ARAG, innovation is driven by our founding principle of extending access to justice to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it. 17/10/2023
The RAG October 2023

Welcome to the October edition issue of The RAG, the ARAG UK news bulletin. 16/10/2023
LASPO at 10

There’s an argument to say that the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders ACT 2012 (LASPO) has been good for the legal expenses sector. After all, the cuts to legal aid, law centres and almost every other source of legal support, whether brought about directly by LASPO or merely part of the same drive to reduce government spending, have left very few legal options within reach for most families and SMEs. 03/07/2023
Extending access to justice against the tide

We’ve just passed ten years since the LASPO (Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act) reforms were implemented, and it is hard to believe that we have also seen 10 appointments to the role of Justice Secretary, since that legislation was passed in 2012. 03/07/2023
ARAG Day and Charity of the Year

Every other year, ARAG selects a new charity to benefit from all of the great events that our tireless staff throw themselves into, to give something back to our community. This year, the beneficiary is one that is both close to home, and close to the work we do in ensuring that as many people as possible have access to the UK justice system. 03/07/2023
All things digital

ARAG has always been committed to staying at the very forefront of digital legal services and we have made considerable investment over the last couple of years to ensure that our partners and their clients see the benefit. 03/07/2023
ACSO Whitepaper

While many people appreciate the huge benefits that legal expenses insurance (LEI) offers to policyholders for what is generally a very modest premium, it can sometimes be underappreciated or even misunderstood. 03/07/2023
