ARC LEGAL LAUNCHES NEW IMAGE WITH COMPETITION

SPOT THE BALL AND WIN AN IPOD ON NEW ARC LEGAL WEBSITE

Arc Legal Assistance (Arc Legal), the legal expenses insurance provider, which manages in excess of 7.5 million legal expenses policies in the UK and Ireland, has launched its new look website and corporate image today – with a month-long competition to win iPod prizes and support charity at the same time.

From Thursday 5th March, for one month, visitors to the Arc Legal site – www.arclegal.co.uk – will find a hidden silver ball on the website. The location of the ball will be changed at the beginning of every week.

On Friday 13th March, Red Nose Day, for one day only, the silver ball will be replaced by a hidden Comic Relief logo. Arc Legal has pledged to donate £1 to Comic Relief for everyone who takes part in their website competition* on Red Nose Day. Prizes include a special edition red iPod nano and an iPod touch.

The new site details how Arc Legal has grown in the six years since its launch in 2003 to become a company which manages over 250 contracts, managing in excess of 7.5 million legal expenses policies, including over 3 million travel legal expenses policies and providing off duty legal protection to 1 in 3 police officers in England and Wales. Arc Legal is also responsible for managing more than £180 million of tenants’ deposits insurance, and its telephone helplines handle more than 30,000 legal queries a year.

Helen Withers, Managing Director of Arc Legal, said: “We believe our refreshed image and website reflects what we are as a company – transparent, customer focused and different. We have come a long way since we started with the aim of modernising the legal expenses market. We have grown to become a recognised and respected provider in the marketplace, with a business approach that allows clients to offer a responsive claims service whilst controlling costs.”

For the competition, entrants are asked to email the location of the hidden silver ball by entering their details on the competition page within the website – accessed via the home page. Every Friday in March at 5.30pm all correct answers are entered into a prize draw to win a special edition iPod nano. The winner on Red Nose Day receives an iPod touch.
