As the world’s leading legal insurer, ARAG Legal makes quality legal insurance affordable for all – empowering employees to choose the local network attorney they want to work with. Everything they do is driven by the customer experience and supports our long-standing commitment to offer superior legal protection.

We are excited to announce ARAG Legal as our Partner of the Week, where we highlight one of our unique PlanSource Marketplace Partners and the value they bring to the benefits industry. We recently sat down to discuss their unique employee benefits and how they support legal insurance accessibility within the benefits industry.

What makes your company unique in the benefits space – what key benefits do you provide to employees? 

Here are four ways ARAG legal insurance stands out – and is designed around our members:

  • Customer-first approach
  • Intentional product design
  • Accessible attorney network
  • Intuitive technology

ARAG is unique because we have offered legal insurance for more than 80 years; legal is all we do. We’re 100% dedicated to expanding coverages to aid all employees that may need legal assistance – now and in the future.

As the world’s leading legal insurer*, ARAG connects members with experienced network attorneys who can help them with their legal matter, whether they wish to fight a traffic ticket or close on their dream home. Network attorney fees are 100% paid in full by ARAG for most covered matters, allowing our members to affordably handle their legal needs.

Our plans offer a variety of additional services that help our members handle their affairs and protect themselves and their loved ones. Members can seek help with filing their taxes, protect themselves from identity theft and create legal documents such as a will online, all thanks to their legal plan.

What industry problems are we solving with our partnership for HR teams and/or their employees?

The job market is wide open, and many people around the country are considering moving on from their current position. So, understandably, many employers are concerned about employee retention.

Legal insurance is key to retaining and recruiting top talent by not only standing on its own as a comprehensive benefit, but also enhancing other voluntary benefits that HR departments are already offering – like life insurance, disability insurance and even pet insurance. Plus, by lifting the financial burden that can accompany working with an attorney, ARAG can help reduce employee stress.

ARAG also understands that due to this Great Resignation, HR has even more on their plates, from recruiting to running point on open enrollment. That’s why we’ve made it easy for employers to both implement and administer our legal plans, providing outstanding support from start to finish.

We are grateful to PlanSource for partnering with us and allowing us the opportunity to show even more employees the ARAG difference, driven by our customer-first approach.

What is one thing your company is doing to innovate your product/offering to change the industry?

ARAG believes all people deserve access to legal representation. That’s why we intentionally design our plans to support every employee, in the spirit of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). In fact, ARAG was the first legal provider to add comprehensive diversity, equity and inclusion coverage to our product. It’s our overarching goal to meet the needs of anyone who encounters a situation that includes a legal element in life, whether it’s an employee with a disability, a veteran or a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Our technology is also always evolving. We’re constantly working to make sure members can get legal help wherever they are, even on the go. The ARAG Legal app is a great example, allowing members to start a case and find a network attorney right from their mobile device.

All our web experiences are ADA-certified, ensuring that all members can seamlessly get the help they need from ARAG online.
