Rechtsschutzversicherung

Legal protection insurance is a young branch of insurance. In Switzerland, this sector is among the growth markets. The legal regulation of legal protection insurance is rudimentary, subject to revisions, and influenced by EU law. At the same time, it faces a complex interplay of numerous legal areas: private insurance law, insurance supervision law, contract law, competition law, consumer protection law, data protection law, and procedural law. This monograph provides a comprehensive presentation that systematically addresses the legal aspects of legal protection insurance and offers solutions for open questions. Thanks to the author's wealth of experience, the theory is repeatedly tested against practical applications. "Legal Protection Insurance" serves as an introduction to the topic and as a reference work.
