What is a Comprehensive Group Legal Plan?

A group legal plan is a fringe benefit that gives covered members and their families access to experienced legal representation for personal off-the-job legal matters while eliminating the high cost of hiring a lawyer.

The plans can be collectively bargained. In the Taft-Hartley context, the plan can be provided as an ancillary benefit of the health and welfare fund. Much like health insurance helps cover medical expenses, a group legal plan helps make quality legal services affordable and accessible. Eligible members can receive legal assistance with little or no out-of-pocket cost for covered matters.

For many hardworking families, an unexpected legal issue can create a difficult choice: pay thousands of dollars in legal fees or go without the help they need. Whether it’s a divorce, child support dispute, debt issue, landlord-tenant problem, or another personal legal matter, legal fees can quickly become overwhelming. A comprehensive Group Legal Plan removes that financial barrier to getting help and ensures members have access to professional legal support when they need it.

At Regan Associates, Chartered, we have proudly provided group legal services to union members and their families for more than four decades.
