For legal expenses insurers

Every legal claim tracked,from notification to closure.

A legal expenses insurer receives a large number of claims, qualifies them, decides on cover, handles some in-house and passes others to external lawyers. Ulpian brings these steps into one file: the claim arrives qualified, deadlines are tracked, every external mandate has its budget, and every decision stays on record.

What you will see in Ulpian

Fictitious matter, sample data.

A deadline found, then confirmed

The letter arrives, Ulpian proposes the due date under the recorded rule, and the lawyer confirms it. Drag the date of the letter.

Indicative calculation: every legal deadline is confirmed by the lawyer before it enters the calendar.

What weighs on a legal expenses team

Volume rises, every file has its deadlines, and external costs are often discovered too late.

  • 01

    Many claims

    Requests by phone, email and form, to be sorted before the insured can get an answer.

  • 02

    Deadlines already running

    When the insured reports a dispute, an appeal or limitation period has often been running for weeks.

  • 03

    External lawyers that are hard to keep track of

    Instructions sent by email, fee notes received at the end of the mandate, and no view of budgets per file.

  • 04

    Reporting rebuilt by hand

    Volumes, handling times and costs per area pulled from several tools for every report.

What Ulpian provides

Modules available today, configured for the path of a legal claim.

  • A claims desk

    One sentence or a form is enough: the claim arrives qualified, with its urgency, parties and area.

  • The claim file

    Parties, documents, deadlines, notes and log in one place, with conflict checks across all parties.

  • External mandates

    Instructions, budgets and spend per firm and per file: spend is visible during the mandate, not at the end.

  • Deadlines found and confirmed

    Deadlines found in documents and mail are proposed, then confirmed by the lawyer before entering the calendar.

  • Drafting and research

    Letters and opinions prepared from your templates, and research in public legislation and case law, with verified citations.

  • Indicators for management

    Volumes, response times and external spend, calculated from the actual work.

  5. Step 0505
