It’s been a busy couple of weeks for our ATE Sales team – Mike Knight, ATE Sales Manager

First up was AvMA’s Annual Clinical Negligence Conference followed, a week later, by the APIL Advanced Brain and Spinal Cord Conference. Both exhibitions are regularly in our events calendar as they provide an invaluable opportunity for us to connect with new prospects and re-connect with our current partners. 

Both events were extremely busy for us, so apologies to anyone who didn’t get the chance to speak to us on our stands, please do contact us below if you would like a chat! Even though each event has a different demographic of delegates, our message is always the same.


For more than a decade, ARAG has led the way in delivering innovative after-the-event insurance solutions to law firms throughout the country. Many will talk of ‘access to justice’, but ARAG is still driven by its founding principle, more than 80 years old, that “…every person should be able to assert their legal rights, not just those who can afford it.”

Nowhere is this principle more important than in our mission to ensure justice continues to be accessible to those who have sustained severe and sometimes catastrophic injuries. At a time when claimant firms and their clients have been confronted with successive challenges, seemingly perpetual reform and shifting regulatory and market conditions, ARAG has stood firm, developing and adapting products to satisfy increasingly demanding requirements, especially in the personal injury and clinical negligence sectors.

The design of our Recourse range of after-the-event solutions has always focused on simplicity. Products that a solicitor can easily explain and a client can readily understand; products free from complex underwriting mechanisms and onerous conditions; products, put simply, that work.

As a result, we are regularly shortlisted for a string of awards, from Personal Injury Insurance Provider of the Year to Legal Expenses Team of the Year, ARAG has been recognised as the outstanding provider of legal expenses insurance solutions for law firms and their clients.

I always enjoy attending events like those put on by AvMA and APIL as they offer a perfect mix of business and networking. Then again, maybe that’s why I have now decided to take on the challenge of Dry July!

The idea of going alcohol free during a summer month of BBQ’s, sporting events and corporate entertaining is not going to be easy but it is for a great cause and a charity close to our hearts at ARAG; FOCUS. The motivation to stay off the alcohol and enjoy a range of non-alcoholic beverages throughout the month comes from the knowledge that any donations received will enable the charity to invest in projects that make hospitals better. Their aim is to create a comfortable and positive environment for all their patients and staff, investing in improvements to buildings, state of the art equipment and extra care over and above that provided by the NHS.

Going forward, we are supporting the St John’s Chamber and AvMA Charity Dinner in Bristol on the 21st September and exhibiting at the APIL Clinical Negligence Conference in Brighton on the 5th and 6th of October – I hope to see you there!

Flexible ATE Solutions for the challenges ahead

Our industry is currently facing many challenges, from changing legislation, greater financial pressure on firms and increased competition for less work; lack of support from your ATE provider shouldn't be one of them.

With the timetable and framework for change now announced https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news-focus/pi-small-comfort-on-small-claims/5059994.article it is important that as well as fighting the changes you protect your clients and your firm from any adverse effects.

We offer flexible solutions for your practice, depending on what risk strategy you decide is suitable for you. We are able to offer a choice of:
ARAG ATE visual campaign

  • Firm Policies, insuring all clients of your practise under one policy
  • Full cover for adverse costs and disbursements
  • Part 36 cover only
  • Part 36 + post offer disbursements cover
  • Adverse costs and issue fees cover


All of the above are competitively priced and provide A-rated security and one of the largest legal expense insurers in the world. We also offer a system link-up to reduce administration when arranging cover which avoids the need for double keying.

We continue to innovate and are certain that whatever the changes ahead, we will have the ATE solutions, not just for today but also for tomorrow.

Call us at 0117 307 2293 or email us to discuss how we can help future proof your firm.
