Legal protection in an evolving environment
Legal protection in an evolving environment
Laws are continually changing to keep pace with society. They reflect the will of the people, the sentiments of those who govern, and evolving beliefs in right versus wrong. While the legal environment can seem unpredictable, MetLife Legal Plans is designed to increase access to legal services and bridge the legal representation gap. Our plans are continually enhanced and adjusted so services remain relevant with changing times. Flexibility is how we seek to offer protection at every step.
We actively monitor existing legislation and judicial opinions to assess how the legal plan can support the legal needs of our group customers and covered individuals. With so many different generations and lifestyles in the workforce today, having benefits that can meet a wide range of needs is more important than ever. Here are a few ways a legal plan can help with unique circumstances.
The MetLife legal solution is available to all enrolled legal plan members. You can create an account at here and follow the steps to register using an email and password of your choice and enter plan number 9260280 when prompted.
Harassment:
Employees could require protection from undue harassment as a result of any number of things. Despite the motivation behind these acts, an attorney can help protect employees from harassment in the form of cease and desist letters, domestic violence orders, and offer general advice and consultation.
LGBTQ+ rights:
Legal experts can assist employees with various needs, including marriage and divorce, and wills and healthcare proxies. Legal plan attorneys come from diverse backgrounds with some identifying as LGBTQ+. This creates an atmosphere of trust and empathy for this employee population.
Growing families:
In addition to family law and estate planning matters, some legal plan attorneys are equipped to help navigate surrogacy and in-vitro fertilization options within state legislation, adoption, and ensure both parents are on birth certificates.
Special needs support:
Employers can support parents and caregivers of special needs individuals with legal help, such as:
Guardianships and conservatorships in situations where a special needs child is turning 18.
Assisting with school hearings where schools are not complying with IEPs.
In addition, some of our plans offer unlimited caregiving support services through Family First. Receive access to a confidential, multi-disciplinary team of highly trained experts who will examine an employee’s unique caregiving situation and create a holistic care plan for their loved ones.
MetLife Legal Plans offers real and tangible results in the form of legal representation and consultation. Protection at every step is not only a result of affordability and accessibility—but also the range of covered legal services.
