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.
We've now made it even easier for customers to make a claim. Here you can find out how.
We work with our partner solicitors to understand their business, identify the After The Event (ATE) insurance needs of their clients, and use that knowledge to provide relevant products and training.
Each of our partners has a dedicated account manager who will visit your offices to run a workshop on our products and services and explain how they can help your clients get access to justice.
But that’s not where we leave it. Your account manager will provide continuing support, guidance and further training as and when required.
To help make sure your clients get what they need, we will support you and your firm by providing practical product training so you can have knowledgeable and helpful conversations with your clients.
We will ensure your team understand our ATE policy terms and conditions, our convenient portal and useful analytics tools.
