Employment Practices Liability

Overview

Employment practices liability claims are often time-critical and require dedicated experts who can respond promptly and effectively in order to ensure the best possible outcome.

Employment Practices Liability (EPL) insurance covers a broad range of claims – from unfair or unlawful dismissal, adverse action involving workplace rights, through to bullying and discrimination claims.

Our EPL experts assist with claims arising out of employment and contractual issues raised by employees, former employees, potential employees and contractors. We provide advice and support to insurers, employers, brokers and underwriters on EPL cover relevant to a broad range of industries.

We assist in protecting the interests of insurers and insureds by assessing and resolving claims quickly and effectively – ensuring complaints do not escalate or become unnecessarily expensive in terms of time or money.

Our team are also highly experienced in preventative advice – such as conducting policy reviews to identify and rectify areas of vulnerability.

In addition to EPL claims, we are experienced with statutory liability and broader Employment & Workplace Advisory matters.
