Motor insurer discussing setting up personal injury law firm following referral fee ban

Admiral

Admiral is considering setting up a personal injury law firm, according to reports.

Discussions are at an early stage and several options are being discussed.

The Cardiff-based insurer may take advantage of the Legal Services Act which opens up law firm ownership to insurers, banks and retailers.

Admiral revealed earlier this year that 6% of profits are from referral fees. Referral fees are due to be banned.
