The most misunderstood line of insurance in the Greek market.
It does not cover “whatever legal issue comes up”. Every plan defines dispute categories, waiting periods and cost limits. This is what the picture usually looks like:
Examples of cover
Traffic disputes
Claiming compensation after an accident, defense in criminal prosecutions over traffic offenses, and appeals against fines.
Employment disputes
Disputes with your employer over wages, severance or contract terms — for employees the plan covers.
Consumer disputes
Disagreements with suppliers over defective products or services not delivered as agreed.
Common exclusions
Disputes that began before the policy
Cover applies to future disputes. Anything already underway before the start date — or during the waiting period — usually stays out.
Family and inheritance law
Divorce, custody and inheritance disputes are often excluded, or covered only as legal advice rather than court representation.
Amounts below the minimum threshold
Many plans set a minimum dispute value and a per-case cost cap. The fine print here decides everything.

Common questions: Legal Expenses
What does legal expenses insurance cover?
Lawyer fees and court costs for disputes such as traffic, employment and consumer matters — according to each policy's terms.
Does legal expenses cover a dispute that has already started?
Usually not. The cover is for future disputes; anything that began before the start date or during the waiting period is normally excluded.
