The policy language listed herein is intended to provide a general overview of a typical LegalEASE policy. Please see your LegalEASE policy for specific coverage amounts and exclusions.​​

* Managed Case Rules

In cases deemed by Us to be complex, Managed Case Rules may be used to approve additional coverage beyond the standard Participating Attorney maximum fees or to ensure that Non-Participating Attorney fees are reasonable and customary. Managed Case Rules provide protection for Members by limiting or preventing additional charges that Members would otherwise be responsible for. Managed Case Rules may be enacted prior to or after the initial consultation. Managed Case Rules require the following:
1. The Member should contact the Member Service Center prior to proceeding with an attorney. If the Member understands from the attorney that there may be additional charges beyond the covered charges under the Policy and the Member does not contact the Member Service Center
prior to proceeding with the attorney, then the Member may be responsible for those additional charges beyond the covered charges under the Policy, even on a Paid In Full benefit.
2. If it is determined that the complexity of the case may require additional hours beyond the standard Participating Attorney maximum, or that the Non-Participating Attorney charges are higher than reasonable and customary fees, the attorney must provide a written estimate of fees reflecting his or her best judgment as to the likely cost of legal services based on the expected conduct of the case.
3. We will set a maximum attorney fee that takes into consideration the reasonable level of reimbursement of the proceeding and the proposed litigation strategy. Fees as a result of services in excess of the maximum attorney fee are the responsibility of the Member.

Exclusions

This Policy excludes benefits for the following:
Appellate court proceedings, class actions, interventions, derivative action and amicus curiae filings.
The preparation and filing of individual, partnership or estate tax returns, appellate or administrative proceedings related to tax returns, litigation before the U.S. Tax Court,
U.S. Court of Claims or any other federal, state or other courts with respect to tax matters.
Matters relating to securities, trademark or patent matters; business or commercial interests, including, but not limited to, professional, partnership and/or corporate matters;
matters involving the law or laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and its territories except as specifically described under Covered Services; any matters involving a government (domestic or foreign) entity or agency except as specifically described under Covered Services; farm related issues; matters involving commercial or rental property transactions, including the purchase, sale or lease of investment or income-producing property.
Legal services that are fully paid for or provided at no cost by any governmental agency, organization or insurance company.
Matters that the attorney deems frivolous, spurious, harassing, or unethical (collectively referred to as “frivolous”) or otherwise prohibited by the Model Rules of Professional
Conduct of the state in which the attorney is licensed.
Costs associated with covered legal services, including but not limited to, all fines, court costs, penalties, sanctions, expert witness fees, bonds, bail bonds, attorney fees, exhibits, deposition costs, filing fees, transcripts, postage, telephone, photocopying, recording fees, messengers, judgments, jury fees, court reporter fees, investigative costs and all other incidental and out-of-pocket legal and litigation costs.
Any services on behalf of a Covered Family Member against the interests of the Member.
Any employment-related matter. This includes, but is not limited to, any dispute involving the Member’s employer or its affiliates, their officers or directors, the Member’s employee benefit plans, credit unions, programs or arrangements sponsored by an employer, or cases involving workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, sex harassment, age discrimination, etc.
Any dispute or proceeding against the following persons or entities, their officers, directors, employees, or agents: any person or entity involved in the sale, marketing, administration or other processes related to this Policy; Legal Plan Administrator or its subsidiaries; Claims Administrator or its subsidiaries; Policyholder; Member’s employer;
LegalEASE and it’s parents, subsidiaries or any affiliated or successor company, plan underwriter or reinsurer; Plan Sponsor; or any Participating and/or Non-Participating Attorney, if the dispute or proceeding pertains to services provided under the Policy.
The Policy will not provide benefits in connection with pre-existing matters, which includes any matter where the Member and/or Covered Family Member is on notice as to a pending legal dispute or has previously contacted an attorney, except when prior coverage under another Legal Plan provided by the Policyholder can be demonstrated.
Where there are specific hours or dollar amounts provide in this Policy, or where a maximum is set under the Managed Case Rules, the Member will be responsible for all attorney fees incurred over the maximum. Additional exclusions related to each benefit are included in the Covered Services.
