Charles Earle's start-up Arista has entered into a legal expenses insurance deal with ARAG Group.
ARAG will provide Arista policyholders with optional legal expenses cover for commercial combined policies.
Earle commented: “ARAG is recognised one of the world's leaders in legal insurance and the company mirrors much of what Arista is trying to achieve in terms of their focus on a high customer service and an adaptable approach to their business partners. We are delighted to be working with them.”
ARAG's sales manager, Andy Talbot, said: “We were given a tough brief by Arista — to provide groundbreaking commercial legal insurance and associated legal services in an economic and simplified way.
"Being new to market ourselves, our flexibility in terms of underwriting and service was key. Our business model is based around the utilisation of quality solicitors, which Arista recognised would provide a higher level of service than ordinarily found. We look forward to working with the Arista team, with whom we share similar values and beliefs”.
