Enhanced 24/7 Legal Advice Line for IIB members

The Institute of Insurance Brokers (IIB) has re-launched its 24/7 Legal Advice Line for members. In addition to providing free, unlimited access for members to relevant and practical advice relating to any Legal, Employment or Tax matter, there’s now the added benefit of specific advice on all aspects of debt, cash-flow and insolvency matters, either relating to the member’s business or arising from dealings with clients and suppliers.   

IIB’s Chief Executive, Barbara Bradshaw, comments:               
            “With the impacts of the recession still coming through, we’ve enhanced the
 benefits to members to include exactly the type of help that’s relevant today. The recession has resulted in a sharp increase in debt, cash-flow and insolvency issues generally – issues that can often take a business’s eye off  the ball. Practical and commercial assistance is now available to our members on how to deal with these crucial aspects of the current volatile market.”   

The 24/7 IIB Legal Advice Line is provided by one of the UK’s leading legal expenses insurance providers, Composite Legal Expenses

Composite’s Business Development Manager, Tim Mullin, adds:
             
          “Never has easy access to qualified and experienced legal advisors been so necessary.  For example, we’ve witnessed a dramatic increase in Employment Disputes over the last two years with Employment Tribunal Applications doubling. And then there’s the burden of HMRC investigations, let alone on-going changes in legislation. We’re delighted to be partnering the IIB in this essential member service.”
   

The Institute of insurance Brokers (IIB) has around 1000 member firms in the UK representing their interests to HM Government, the FSA, the European Commission, Parliament and other relevant bodies – ensuring their voice is heard in the corridors of power. Please see www.iib-uk.com

The Composite Group is one of the UK’s leading providers of commercial and personal legal expenses and assistance products and services. Supported by 24/7 legal advice, HR and H&S help-lines plus on-line services, Composite’s products are distributed through the UK insurance broking market and via specialist affinity groups and schemes.   Please see www.composite-legal.com
