Executive Summary

This one-page case study walks through a Corporate Legal Liability (CLL) insurance claim following a formal investigation into a company’s business practices.

What happened:

• A regulator launched an investigation into alleged non-compliance

• The company was required to disclose documents and attend hearings

• Legal defence was needed immediately to respond to complex enquiries

How CLL insurance responded:

• Covered legal costs for defending the business against allegations

• Appointed specialist solicitors with regulatory expertise

• Assisted with managing disclosure, communications, and deadlines

• Provided peace of mind during a period of reputational and operational risk

Why this matters:

• Even if no wrongdoing is found, legal defence is costly and time consuming

• Claims can arise from clients, competitors, regulators, or former employees

• CLL provides cover for the business entity, complementing Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance

This guide is ideal for business owners, compliance managers, and company directors seeking to understand corporate risk exposure.
