ARAG is one of the largest family owned providers of legal insurance in the UK. It was one of the first commercial legal expenses insurers to transform its insurance product into a service-led proposition. Key to that was providing their policyholders with access to Epoq's legal services.

Accessible from a dedicated website, the legal service includes an extensive range of legal document templates to help business owners, individuals and landlords deal with many everyday legal matters. The addition of Epoq's legal services to ARAG's legal expenses products has enabled it to significantly improve renewal rates.
