News and analysis from our experts
Many brokers and law firms have chosen to partner with DAS. Here you can find out why our partners choose us, and how you can join them.
Your clients simply have to call the number provided in their policy document, or they can download a claims form. We will assess your client’s claim and review their prospects of success.
We will work with your clients from start to finish to ensure they receive all the support they need. In our experience the majority of cases do not end up in court, but if an agreement can’t be reached, we will assign a lawyer to manage the case.
How to make a claim
Our corporate partners have access to a number of resources to improve the service we offer, including our Business Partner Toolkit and eClaims portal.
Why become a partner
Legal expenses cover is designed to protect your clients from the impact of common legal issues such as employment disputes, issues with neighbours or consumer rights.
