TORONTO, ON, APRIL 23, 2025/insPRESS/ – ARAG Legal Solutions Inc. is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Portage Mutual Insurance Company, a trusted Canadian insurer known for its commitment to delivering practical and reliable coverage to its policyholders. Through this collaboration, Portage Mutual will offer Personal Legal Expense Coverage as part of its insurance portfolio beginning September 1, 2025.

This new addition provides Portage Mutual customers with access to everyday legal support and protection across a wide range of common personal matters–from employment issues to contract disputes and more– empowering them to navigate legal challenges with confidence. It also offers proactive legal services, emotional support, and tools that make managing legal issues simpler and more affordable.

“Partnering with Portage Mutual allows us to bring peace of mind to their members in increasingly uncertain and challenging times,” says Peter Dempster, CEO of ARAG Legal Solutions Inc. “Our recent behavioural study shows that including legal expense coverage in an insurance policy brings peace of mind to policy holders. This is not surprising though, as legal issues are stressful and isolating; with the right support, people feel more secure, more in control, and better protected.”

“At Portage Mutual, we are always looking for ways to evolve our product offerings and support the well-being of our policyholders,” says Andrea Lewis, Director of Customer & Broker Experience. “Partnering with ARAG allows us to deliver legal assistance and resources, including legal services, emotional support assistance and legal expense coverage, to our policyholders to handle legal challenges proactively and effectively.”
