Finlex provides new digital concept for criminal legal protection for companies
In times of increasing criminal investigations against business leaders and managers, InsurTech company, Finlex, is expanding its product range and is now offering a new digital placement process for special criminal legal protection for companies. Initially, offers originate from two risk carriers. In view of the risks from investigative proceedings, this insurance forms part of comprehensive risk management for every company.
Risks of criminal investigation
Even companies and managers who are convinced that everything at their company really runs in accordance with the law can quickly attract the attention of investigating authorities, whether due to an anonymous tip-off or a criminal complaint from an authority or a competitor.
A successful defence against criminal charges requires specialised lawyers, who often only bill according to fee agreements. Germany does not have corporate criminal law, which is why criminal investigations are always directed against employees or managers of the company. For these, the defence costs can threaten the company’s continued existence in individual cases. There is a risk of damage to the company’s image in the event of a report in the press that can adversely affect the business.
Digital platform product
Finlex offers this special criminal legal protection for companies on its online platform with risk bearers, ARAG and ROLAND. These underwrite insurance cover that is both smart and digital at an above-average high level and with a relatively low need for information. The insurance sums offered of EUR 0.5 million and EUR 1.0 million EUR are available to the insured parties for each legal protection claim.
Brokers can straightforwardly receive detailed settlement offers for their customers in a very short time. They can also use the new landing page for this, providing customers with the questionnaire and useful product information via email link.
Favourable conditions
“The insurance conditions are characterised by an extended group of co-insured persons, co-insured subsidiaries, an advantageous regulation on the exclusion of intent, extensive company modules and a variety of assistance benefits”, highlights Andreas Wilde, Product Manager Liability Lines & Legal Protection at Finlex.
