ARAG-Hellas, a branch office of ARAG Allgemeine Rechtsschutz-Versicherungs-AG of Germany, was founded in 1972 and began as an expert in legal insurance in Athens. Two other offices were opened later – in Thessaloniki and Patras. As legal insurance was totally new to the Greek market in the early 1970s, consumers had to be familiarized with the concept of legal insurance.

Incorporation
Growth and development
The first legal insurance product offered by ARAG Greece, a policy designed for the automotive and mobility segment, was firmly established in the 1980s. By that time, Greek consumers had already become more sensitive to their legal rights in the labor market. ARAG-Hellas seized the opportunity to introduce additional legal insurance products to the market. These included legal insurance policies for families and small businesses.
Several years later, other Greek insurers recognized the potential of legal insurance and began offering products similar to those of ARAG. Supported by many years of experience as an expert in legal matters and protection, ARAG-Hellas took advantage of its market position and maintained its competitive edge.
