Prevent conflicts among entrepreneurs

Everyone knows the saying 'prevention is better than cure'. Unfortunately, a legal conflict cannot always be prevented. Especially as an entrepreneur, you have to deal with many different parties, which makes it easier for a conflict to arise. Resolving a legal conflict can be very complex and costly. You may be faced with litigation costs, lawyer's fees and costs of independent experts. This is always annoying, but can be particularly challenging for start-up entrepreneurs. They often do not have a large buffer to absorb such costs. With legal expenses insurance you can be sure that (part of) the costs will be reimbursed. You are also assured of expert advice. Legal assistance can ensure that conflicts are resolved or sometimes even prevented. Therefore, as an entrepreneur, it can do no harm to take out legal assistance insurance.

What kind of conflict can I face as an entrepreneur?

As an entrepreneur, you may have to deal with different types of conflicts. We explain some of them below:

Conflict due to business operations

Conflicts may arise over your business operations, for example, when your company grows, when you enter into cooperation or when new activities are started.

Conflict with supplier and/or customers

There are countless examples of conflicts with suppliers or customers. For example, a debtor who does not pay. A supplier who fails to deliver. Products that are not delivered, are delivered wrongly, are delivered late or are defective. It may also be the case that a customer is not satisfied with your service or product. For example, because a delivered product is not good, your service did not meet the expectations of the customer or there were problems with the delivery. The customer may then lodge a complaint, refuse to pay the invoice or even hold your company liable. In such cases, legal assistance is very convenient.

Conflict with staff

With employees in service, there is always a chance that a conflict may arise. For example, a conflict about dismissal, salary, maternity leave, sick leave, pension or the amount of a benefit. In case of a labour conflict the legal assistance insurance offers you help as an entrepreneur, both in the form of mediation and litigation.

Conflict about the premises

Whether you rent a number of rooms in a joint business property or have a whole building at your disposal: sometimes a conflict arises over the business premises. For example, about the lease or purchase of the building, but also about a change of use by the government, contractual disputes or a conflict with damage to the building.

Conflict due to injury

An accident is a small risk. It can therefore always happen that you or one of your employees suffers an injury. This does not necessarily have to happen during working hours. It could be a traffic accident or a medical error. If you or one of your employees is injured, your legal expenses insurer can help you recover the damages.
