Composite Legal Expenses has appointed Groupama Insurances as its risk carrier for before-the-event legal expenses insurance distributed through brokers and specialist affinity groups.

The new partnership will come into effect at the end of March 2004.

Composite had to find a new insurance partner after its previous carrier, NIG Special Risks, announced the cessation of its legal expenses portfolio.

Groupama distribution and customer service director Amanda Blanc said: “Before-the-event legal expenses insurance presents an interesting niche opportunity for Groupama and this scheme offers the potential for a level of profitability and growth that makes it a very attractive proposition.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
