JLT Specialty has launched a real estate legal indemnity insurance guide, having experienced a rise in enquiries on the topic in recent months.

The new guide aims to remedy this by outlining the main types of legal indemnity insurance and details of their associated requirements and processes for quotes.
Last month, JLT launched a European real estate practice group, drawn from its established real estate team in London and its network partners throughout Europe.
The move should allow the broker to capitalise on its combined premium turnover with various pan-European insurers.

The new law was signed by the Governor and went into effect on November 1, 2011.
