March 2017 – Arc Legal Assistance (Arc Legal) has expanded its specialised legal protection activities of the UK Police Federation after being appointed to offer its first insurance-based legal protection scheme to members of the Police Federation of Northern Ireland. The Federation now provides legal assistance to 6500 of its members for Arc Legal`s policy makers. The expanded regulation provides specific coverage for the representation of members who are the subject of allegations that are not within the scope of the normal police service. Coverage includes costs related to criminal and civil defense, contractual disputes related to goods and services, advice and representation in disciplinary proceedings and personal injury lawsuits.
The policy also covers all sorts of other legal issues, including automotive and consumer disputes, to name a few. The program is developed in collaboration with George Burrows, who is part of the Arthur J Gallagher Group, the leading provider of group and personal insurance for policing services, The Arc Legal Policy, which has been adopted by AmTrust Europe Limited, aims to complement the Federation`s current formal protection and discretionary funding agreements.
