Brief on IDDAn insurance distribution directive is a directive that covers the law with regards to the distribution of insurance. This directive provides insurance companies with guidance on how to comply with the law when distributing insurance products. The directive also sets out requirements for insurance intermediaries, such as insurance brokers and agents.
The IDD is a regulatory framework established by the European Union to govern the distribution of insurance products and services throughout member states. As an EU directive, it must be transposed into national law by each EU member state, in this case, the United Kingdom (UK).
The purpose of this legal template is to assist the board of directors, senior executives, and relevant stakeholders of insurance firms operating within the UK in understanding the key provisions, requirements, and implications of the IDD. It serves as a resource to aid in the planning, implementation, and compliance efforts related to the directive.
The document covers various aspects of the IDD, such as the scope of application, authorizations and registration requirements, conduct of business and professional requirements, organizational and operational standards, supervision and enforcement, disclosure and transparency obligations, and consumer protection measures.
Additionally, the template provides an analysis of how the IDD aligns with existing UK laws, regulations, and industry best practices. It highlights potential impacts and challenges that insurance firms may face during the implementation process, as well as suggestions for mitigating risks and ensuring compliance.
Overall, this legal template aims to provide a concise and accessible summary of the IDD's requirements under UK law, enabling insurance firms to understand and navigate the complex regulatory landscape while ensuring that adequate measures are in place to meet their obligations and safeguard the interests of consumers.

Software Engineer Contract
This Software Engineer contract template is designed for a commercial software engineering organisation (or an individual software engineer) to use when contracting out their skills and services in exchange for payment. This contract sets out the type of software engineering and software-engineering-related services to be completed by the software engineer on behalf of the client, with consideration for expectations around quality and delivery timescales, as well as any mitigating circumstances. This contract allows for payment to be made by the client to the software engineering firm or individual software engineer on a weekly or monthly basis but can easily be edited to account for other payment schedules and could be altered to include bonuses conditional on performance. It can also be fully customised with the details of the two parties and the duration of the contract and can be printed, downloaded and edited freely as part of our mission to open source business legals. This is a template for contractors who fit outside of the UK's off-payroll working rules (IR35).
