ATE (After-the-Event) insurance is a type of legal expense insurance that provides coverage for legal costs incurred during or after a legal dispute or litigation has commenced. Unlike traditional insurance policies that are purchased in advance to protect against future events, ATE insurance is typically obtained after a legal issue has arisen.

ATE insurance is often used to mitigate the financial risks associated with litigation. It can cover various expenses, such as court fees, legal representation fees, expert witness fees, and other litigation-related costs. This insurance can be especially useful for individuals or businesses pursuing legal action or defending themselves in cases where the outcome is uncertain, and the costs can be substantial.
