ARAG in Greece

Milestones

Incorporation
ARAG Greece is a branch office of ARAG SE and has been founded in 1972. The company started out as a legal insurance expert 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.

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. The company 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 Greece took advantage of its market position and maintained its competitive edge.

ARAG in Greece today
The period of the financial crisis in Greece, from 2008 to 2015, was a particularly significant period, marked by a series of legislative changes and a reduction in employees' incomes. During this time, we attempted an in-depth penetration into the dynamics of labor relations of public sector employees, which continues to this day.
ARAG Greece has been the first insurer to launch TaylorMade products that exactly meet the customers' needs.
Some professional groups like public sector employees and functionaries (e.g. police officers, firefighters or military personnel) particularly appreciate those products.
Apart from these special products, the standard products such as Automobile, Family etc., new products as cyber legal protection or Airbnb legal protection have also great appeal in the market, although we have not yet received the corresponding results.
Additionally, the company is highly engaged in corporate social responsibility activities as it is offering free legal advice for victims of violence and bullying at schools etc.
With the ARAG DAY events, ARAG Greece supports equal access to justice for people with disabilities.
