Not all employees will have the same legal needs during a given year, and people typically need different services in different stages of life. So it’s important to offer a plan that offers a broad range of services and, when comparing group legal plans to offer your employees, it makes sense to review the breadth of services provided

It’s one thing to see a list of legal issues that are included in a plan—and it’s another matter entirely to have attorney fees for these issues covered, 100 percent.

It’s natural to wonder about the quality of attorneys within a legal plan’s network. As just two examples, you’ll want attorneys whose licensure and disciplinary record have been carefully checked. It’s also important to find out how easily plan members can access their services.
