IGI Group has entered into a partnership with Temple Legal Protection to provide up to £10m underwriting capacity for both before-the-event and after-the-event policies.

Keith Wardell, IGI chief executive, commented: “Legal expenses is a specialist market and one that IGI has become a recognised expert in, with a substantial legal expenses book.

“We intend to continue growing our business and the fit with Temple was perfect. This is a quality, well managed book of business written by legal expenses specialists who have built an excellent reputation over many years. And Temple's standing in this market is further underlined by its involvement in a number of leading test cases.”

Temple underwriting director, Chris Wait, said: “We are delighted to be working with a like-minded and supportive partner that truly understands the legal expenses market and shares our vision for growth. Our clients expect first class products and service and I am confident that in partnership with IGI, we can deliver on all fronts.”
