Legal Advice

We know how stressful and disruptive a pending legal dispute can be for you and your business. Whether it is a BHA disciplinary matter, an employment dispute, an investigation from HMRC, damage to property, debt recovery, or any other legal dispute, we are here to help.

If you have a legal issue or think you might have one and want to find out more information, we recommend in the first instance speaking to our inhouse Legal Executive Dawn Baccus. Dawn has over 25 years’ experience in law and the racing industry and is an expert in employment law. You can reach Dawn on 01488 71729.

The NTF Legal Expenses Insurance Scheme

In addition to our inhouse legal executive, we also run the NTF legal expenses insurance (LEI) scheme for our members. The LEI scheme is designed to meet the business needs of an NTF member including representation at BHA disciplinary matters and cover for employment disputes, subject to the policy terms being met.

In addition, the scheme gives you access to a 24/7 legal advice on all business matters within UK and EU law by calling 0330 303 1329.

More information about the policy, including the policy document and details on how to make a claim are available below.

  • Members are reminded that a condition of the insurance cover is that a claim is reported to the insurers immediately after the NTF member first becomes aware of the circumstances which could give rise to a claim. To report and make a claim, members should call 0330 303 1955 (weekdays 9am - 5pm) or online HERE.

  • Members who relinquish their licence will have legal expenses cover for matters arising whilst a member provided claims are made within 3 months of relinquishing their licence or the end of the policy year, whichever is shorter, subject to the policy terms and conditions. This only applies to claims made after 1st January 2024.
