LegalShield
Affordable access to experienced attorneys for everyday legal needs — no hourly fees, no hesitation.
Description
LegalShield offers prepaid legal plans that connect employees with a network of experienced attorneys. Instead of paying high hourly fees, members can access legal help for a wide range of common issues, from drafting a will to reviewing contracts or handling traffic violations. The goal is simple: make legal support more accessible, predictable, and less intimidating. Through its partnership with Brite, LegalShield helps guide employees from benefits education directly to their LegalShield enrollment experience so they can elect coverage with confidence.

Why It Matters
Legal problems touch every employee — a landlord dispute, a family matter, a will that's long overdue, or a contract that needs review before signing. Without affordable access to an attorney, most people ignore these issues or face them alone. LegalShield removes that barrier with prepaid coverage that makes an experienced lawyer as easy to reach as a phone call.
Getting Started
LegalShield is a voluntary benefit — employees enroll during open enrollment or a qualifying life event. Once enrolled, members access their plan through the LegalShield app, describe their issue, and connect with an attorney from a dedicated provider law firm. In Brite, the LegalShield listing gives employees a plain-language overview so they know exactly what's covered and how to get help when they need it.
Broker & HR Benefits
Legal benefits are an underused differentiator in the benefits package. Brokers can position LegalShield as a low-cost, high-perceived-value voluntary benefit that employees genuinely appreciate — especially when legal issues arise. HR teams get a fully managed benefit with no administrative complexity, and employees gain access to attorneys averaging 22 years of experience for a fraction of what direct legal services would cost.
