Tips When Applying
A good case presentation is invaluable when seeking litigation insurance. A clear and comprehensive application significantly increases the chances of securing terms and can speed up underwriting decisions.
Here are our top tips for preparing your application:
-
Include a short, lawyer-prepared summary that outlines the background, key issues, and the strength of the case. This helps underwriters quickly grasp the fundamentals before undertaking a more detailed review. You can download our Briefing Note Template here.
-
Insurers and funders support cases with strong prospects. The summary or accompanying legal opinion should set out a reasoned assessment of the merits, along with any commercial factors that may not be apparent from the pleadings or correspondence.
-
Be upfront about anticipated defences or difficult issues. Provide commentary on why you believe these arguments can be overcome. If the case is still in early stages, outline any likely challenges and your view on them.
-
A realistic assessment of the claim’s value is critical. It allows underwriters to consider the economics of the case and assess whether insurance cover or funding is commercially viable.
-
For insurers offering a contingent premium, enforcement risk is as important—if not more so—than the claim value. Your application should address the financial standing of the defendant, whether they’re insured, asset location, and your proposed enforcement strategy.
-
Underwriters will ultimately form their own view of the case's merits. Include all material information, but avoid overloading the submission with non-essential documentation. A practical approach is to include key documents and an index of additional material that can be provided on request.
-
You know the case best—so help underwriters by pointing out the most important documents in your case summary or covering letter.
