Client funds

All client funds deposited in client accounts are subject to the 'Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors Act', which means that there is a general maximum coverage per depositor under the guarantee fund of EUR 100,000. This limit applies to the total deposit with the relevant bank. If the client has other deposits in the bank than the funds deposited on the client accounts, the maximum limit will thus apply to the total deposit. Horten is not liable for any loss as a consequence of the bank not being able to pay the deposit to the client.

Insurance information

Horten is covered by professional indemnity insurance with HDI Global Specialty SE et al through the insurance brokers Marsh A/S. The insurance covers all legal services irrespective of where they are provided.
