Freelancer Legal Protection

Being a freelancer or contractor brings with it great freedom, but also carries significant risks. This is why we have developed Qdos Freelancer Legal Protection, which will provide comprehensive cover in respect of legal-related risks.

The annual premium for Qdos Freelancer Legal Protection is just £63.00.

The cover

The policy is designed specifically with contractors in mind and provides cover for up to £50,000 in legal expenses in respect of the following (please note that a lower limit applies to certain sections of cover as detailed below):

• Jury Service Cover – up to £500 per day and a maximum total of £5,000
• Contract Cover – up to £5,000 legal expenses cover towards contractual disputes with an agency or client
• Debt Recovery – representation in the pursuit of legal proceedings in respect of an uncontested debt
• Property Disputes – legal costs relating to property or tenancy
• Personal Injury – costs incurred in the pursuit of proceedings to recover damages for the death or injury of an insured person
  
  In addition to the above, the policy also provides cover in respect of:
  
  
• Employment Disputes
• Criminal Prosecutions
• Wrongful Arrest Defence
• Health & Safety Prosecutions
• Data Protection
• Restrictive Covenants

The policy cover is subject to nil excess as standard where the Qdos-appointed representative is used in the event of a claim.

Should you decide to appoint your own choice of representative (e.g. accountant or solicitor) in the event of a claim, an 'increased excess' of £1,000 will apply.
