Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Insurance
Swedish term or phrase: rättskydd
as part of an insurance policy, ie one of the benefits or coverage.

I suppose it is simply 'legal assistance' (but i dont think I would call it "legal aid.")

any other suggestions, or comments?

legal expenses insurance
Explanation:
It is a risky business transliterating into and out of German, but Rechtsschutz = legal expenses ins. does look a likely contender.

NB Gullberg's Fakordbok dictionary gives that very trans. for the expanded phrase of Rättskyddförsäkring
