Legal Expenses insurance is an additional area of cover, often added to household, motor or packaged commercial insurance policies to provide access to legal advice and a sum insured for legal costs to help defend you (or your business), or take action against a third party who has wronged you.

Liability Insurance – Labour Only Sub-Contractor v Bona-Fide Subcontractor
One of the most frequently asked questions by a client under their liability insurance is the status of various subcontractors : – e.g. those engaged by a policyholder to perform work on its behalf.

The rise of the green contractor
Contractors may need to go green to keep up with the demand for building changes in the future. A CITB report has estimated that 350,000 new construction jobs will be required in the UK in order to meet the government’s 2050 environmental target which aims at achieving a net zero on emissions.
The target to reduce our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Climate Agreement is among the highest in the world and commits the UK to cutting emissions at the fastest rate of any major economy. The UK construction industry contributes to approximately 40% of emissions according to the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) and reducing this to net zero represents a huge challenge for the government and construction industry which will need to move away from traditional construction methods utilising eco-friendly and sustainable materials.
