Customers are seeking coverage for a wide range of legal issues, including civil, criminal, and administrative matters.

Local special circumstances in Belgium, such as the country's civil law system and the prevalence of multilingualism, play a significant role in shaping the Legal Insurance market. The legal system in Belgium differs from common law jurisdictions, influencing the types of legal insurance products that are popular among consumers. Additionally, the linguistic diversity in the country necessitates insurance providers to offer services in multiple languages to effectively communicate with policyholders.
