Legal expenses insurance and assistance solutions provider Arag UK has become a member of the Association of British Insurers. It has operated in the UK since 2006 and is part of the Arag Group which is headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Arag UK provides both before- and after-the-event legal expenses products through partners including insurers, brokers, managing general agents and other intermediaries.
