A customer contacts you to complain that products you supplied are faulty. After inspecting the damaged goods, you conclude that the customer must have caused the fault themselves. You dispute the allegations, whereupon the customer takes legal action. This is when you contact your provider of contract-related legal protection insurance. The insurer, Protekta, immediately brings in a lawyer, and covers all lawyer’s fees and court fees, minus the deductible of CHF 1,000. The case is eventually settled amicably.

It is often said that being in the right and getting justice are two completely different things. And there is some truth in that. In contractual disputes, legal support is often essential in order to quickly reach an amicable settlement or, in the event of litigation, to professionally present your claims and get them enforced. Our contract-related legal protection insurance ensures that you and your company always get competent support quickly when dealing with contracts governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations, such as contracts of sale, rental agreements or work contracts. The contract-related legal protection covers a maximum insured sum of CHF 100,000.

As an added bonus, the contract-related legal protection insurance includes JurLine, a service that provides legal information over the phone (weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm, in German, French and Italian). This gives you quick access to legal advice. If you have any questions or are unsure how to proceed correctly from a legal perspective, competent lawyers and other legal professionals will support and advise you – free of charge.
