Abstract
Legal expenses insurance (LEI) sales are underpinned by an established network of distributors, of which major insurance brands are the key providers. From this viewpoint, the LEI market has firm foundations. However, this market experienced a dip in value between 2002 and 2003 - but sales have revived steadily over the last few years reaching an estimated £411 million in gross written premiums (GWP) in 2005.
The main objectives of this report are to identify marketing opportunities in the legal expenses insurance sectors (eg home, motor) and to identify how the overall market has changed since Mintel' s last LEI report which was published in December 2004. This report provides an overview of developments in both the before-the-event (BTE) and after-the-event (ATE) sectors.
