If a dispute arises, you are not alone
A dedicated legal helpline, run by Covéa
At the slightest doubt, you call Covéa's legal experts. They help you identify the dispute and give you a first answer: your rights, the possible steps, what to do next.
Conciliation first
The legal experts then look for an amicable solution: removal, regularization, a negotiated agreement. Many cases are settled at this stage, without going to court.
Then your lawyer's fees covered
If proceedings become necessary, your defense and legal action costs are covered, whether you bring the claim or defend it, up to your plan's cap. The cover does not include compensation for the harm suffered.
Legal protection is not sold separately: it is included in the Individual, Independent Pro and Professional plans. The prices shown under each cover are those of the full plan (proof, storage, insurance and legal information).
