About us

Who We Are and What We Offer

Temple Ireland is Ireland’s only dedicated After-The-Event (ATE) litigation costs insurance company. With our dedicated Dublin based solicitor led underwriting team and 25 years’ experience at the top of the UK ATE Insurance market our mission is to merge local knowledge and global experience to make our ATE products an integral part of the Irish litigation landscape. We listened to solicitors throughout Ireland and understand that they want to wholly concentrate on fully representing their clients without the worry of exposing the client to adverse costs risks.

With this core message in mind, we have tailored policy options that:

ATE gives your client the peace of mind that if the action is lost, they will not be exposed to their opponent’s costs or own disbursements.
Level the litigation playing field putting the client in that same position as an opponent who may routinely have the full backing of an insurer to discharge outlays during a litigation.
Help firms take on more cases, with more litigants able to pursue claims, firms will be able to run more cases which would otherwise have been abandoned due to lack of resources.
Include interim claim payments options that allow the insurance policy to absorb the upfront cost of instructing experts taking the financial burden away from the client and firm.
Help clients gain access to justice, clients with a good case but without the necessary resources will get the support and security they need under a Temple Ireland insurance policy.
Insure EU and UK domiciled clients litigating in the Irish courts.

By offering innovative products tailored to meet the unique needs of Irish litigants and fostering partnerships with local solicitor firms and brokers, Temple Ireland aims to fill a critical gap in the Irish market, providing accessible and reliable legal expenses insurance solutions to individuals and businesses facing adverse litigation costs.
