LPI Congress 2021

Virtual event

The event will be broadcast live online for virtual attendees. For the full experience, there are a number of limited places available to attend in person ‘physically’ at The Hague Marriott. For more information visit the Hybrid section.

Our world looks profoundly different today than it did a year ago. How we live, work, and connect has been transformed by our shared experiences over the past few months. As a post-pandemic future comes into view, it becomes clear that there won’t be a return to the same normal. Being forced to adapt to the disruption while ensuring our clients’ rights are protected has been challenging for our industry. But, challenges bring change, and with it, new growth opportunities.

Join us at this year’s Legal Protection International Congress as we explore new and inspiring ways to market and distribute legal protection insurance. We’ll unpack our collective challenges, share top-level strategies and discover innovative paths to recovery.

Let’s #BraveUp and leverage creative thinking to break down the barriers to justice needs and build a resilient and sustainable future. Let’s create A Brave New World.

A legal issue can threaten lives and therefore it is important to be able to get legal counsel quickly and be prepared for a situation in which a dispute brings about uncertainty, high costs and immeasurable stress. Legal professionals have the necessary expertise to help solve legal conflicts. Legal protection insurers give legal advice, provide financial security, actively support people if needed and pay for a lawyer if necessary. A good legal protection can save a life!

However, times are a-changing. Are we ready for the future? The congress will seek answers to whether legal protection insurers respond in a satisfactory way to changes and offer their policy holders tangible solutions. Are lawyers fit to face commercial and technical challenges? How important is the ‘human factor’ for consumers and how can we make the triangle Lawyer – Insurer – Legal-Tech work

Who should attend?

Participants will include:

In-house legal counsels, people from HR, marketing, claims departments
