Ensure yourself of a good lawyer in case of cyber incidents
Risk: Long & expensive proceedings
Acquiring compensation following a cyber incident is often not straightforward: those files almost always end up in court. And what if you are a victim and you want to claim the not insurable damage on the supplier that lost your data or allowed it to be stolen? Or you want to fire an employee who tweeted untruth information of your client? Or you have a disagreement on digital revenues with an administration authority? In that situation, what you need is a really good lawyer and that also costs money.

Does it apply to you?
Legal expenses insurance is not compulsory insurance. But the increasing complexity of society and (inter)national regulations make good legal aid insurance indispensable. Between being right and getting your right is often a long and arduous road.
