Protection from protests
Protest on the streets, protest online, even litigation used as a vehicle for protest. Protestors targeting a business may be standing in a crowd, holding a placard or shouting slogans. But they may also be behind a computer screen or pursuing a claim against the business through the courts. They may even be working inside the business, preparing to compromise its systems or leak confidential information. Whether they are activists, employees or customers, all these protestors may present a substantial challenge and a real threat to businesses, in areas including its security, reputation and bottom line.

Insurance Legislation Zone
The Insurance Act 2015, Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 and Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 introduced major changes to insurance law in the UK.
