The RAG - Editorial

If 2023 was a big year for ARAG, in which we announced our acquisition of DAS UK, 2024 has been the year of making our vision for the company a reality. 04/11/24
The Beautiful North: Building Strong ATE Partnerships in Scotland

Flexibility has always been a cornerstone of ARAGs success – deeply embedded in both our product development and our partnerships. While some ATE providers may thrive on a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to underwriting, our commitment to adaptability sets us apart, especially in the Scottish legal market. 04/11/24
Not all ATE policies are created equal

Considering some of the other scandals that have littered the headlines over the past couple of years, the collapse of SSB Group Limited (trading as SSB Law) seems merely unfortunate, by comparison. 04/11/2024
How ARAG Advance helps firms balance their books

Problems in the criminal justice system must demand the highest priority, but reducing the backlogs across civil justice has the potential to release many thousands of businesses and families from the economic drag that unresolved legal action inevitably creates. 03/10/24
Delivering Better Justice

We kicked off 2024 by completing the acquisition of DAS UK announced last year. The work to integrate our two businesses was already well underway, but the past few months have seen the various workstreams intensify and the final regulatory requirements ticked off. 21/06/24
Access to Justice starts with empowerment

I was both excited and honoured to be invited to participate in the ARAG Access to Justice Conference in Amsterdam. Our colleagues in the Netherlands brought together leading figures from the fields of technology and international justice with more than 200 business leaders from 19 countries, to explore the important theme of delivering universal access to justice.21/06/24
BIBA Business

It’s now almost six months since ARAG’s acquisition of DAS UK was completed and formally announced to the industry. Work was obviously well underway long before that, to plan the integration of the two organisations, but BIBA marked the first time that we have faced the market as one business. 20/06/24
The RAG - Summer 2024

Welcome to the Summer 2024 edition of the The RAG. 19/06/2024
Techspertise

The international ARAG Group has high ambitions for our future growth following the acquisition of DAS UK, and one of the most exciting prospects is the investment in technology that has been planned, to help us achieve those goals. 20/06/24
A New Proposition for Partners

Director of Marketing, Broker & ATE Sales, Andy Talbot, and Director of BTE Partnerships, Jay Prosser, talk about ARAGs acquisition of DAS UK, how the integration of the two businesses is progressing and what it means for ARAGs business partners. 17/06/2024
On the road with ARAG ATE

We’ve held a series of seminars through the summer and into the autumn, talking to practitioners about how the landscape for clinical negligence and serious injury has changed over the 10 years since the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) was implemented, and how ARAG has continued to adapt our ATE policies to meet the changing demands of the sector. 17/10/2023
Flexible solutions for difficult cases

One of the key differentiators on which ARAG has built its success in the UK is the company’s flexibility around products and underwriting. Whether we’re working with an insurer, broker or a solicitor, we recognise that every firm serves different groups of clients, and that we sometimes have to adapt our products to meet their needs. 17/10/2023
Far from ‘fixed’ - changes to Fixed Recoverable Costs continue

While most clinical negligence cases still remain outside the Fixed Recoverable Cost (FRC) regime following the broad expansion that was introduced at the start of this month, it doesn’t look like they will escape much longer. 17/10/2023
ARAG DAY - supporting Bristol Law Centre

Since our business was founded in 2006, ARAG has supported many charities and community organisations, and encouraged staff to provide practical help wherever we can. In June, for example, members of the ATE team climbed Yr Wyddfa in North Wales, otherwise known as Mount Snowdon, to raise money for the charity AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents). 17/10/2023
Adapting for justice

Among the characteristics that we prize most highly, ARAG has always striven to be flexible. But our adaptability is more than just a USP. At ARAG, innovation is driven by our founding principle of extending access to justice to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it. 17/10/2023
The RAG October 2023

Welcome to the October edition issue of The RAG, the ARAG UK news bulletin. 16/10/2023
LASPO at 10

There’s an argument to say that the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders ACT 2012 (LASPO) has been good for the legal expenses sector. After all, the cuts to legal aid, law centres and almost every other source of legal support, whether brought about directly by LASPO or merely part of the same drive to reduce government spending, have left very few legal options within reach for most families and SMEs. 03/07/2023
Extending access to justice against the tide

We’ve just passed ten years since the LASPO (Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act) reforms were implemented, and it is hard to believe that we have also seen 10 appointments to the role of Justice Secretary, since that legislation was passed in 2012. 03/07/2023
ARAG Day and Charity of the Year

Every other year, ARAG selects a new charity to benefit from all of the great events that our tireless staff throw themselves into, to give something back to our community. This year, the beneficiary is one that is both close to home, and close to the work we do in ensuring that as many people as possible have access to the UK justice system. 03/07/2023
All things digital

ARAG has always been committed to staying at the very forefront of digital legal services and we have made considerable investment over the last couple of years to ensure that our partners and their clients see the benefit. 03/07/2023
ACSO Whitepaper

While many people appreciate the huge benefits that legal expenses insurance (LEI) offers to policyholders for what is generally a very modest premium, it can sometimes be underappreciated or even misunderstood. 03/07/2023
