What is Legal Expense/Commission Recovery Policy

A Legal Expense Insurance (LEI) policy covers the costs of legal fees and expenses for pursuing or defending legal actions. The policy will reimburse claims for disputes or legal proceedings within Australia, provided the claim is reported during the coverage period and relates to activities within the scope of your business.
