I don't think there wopuld be an insurer in the Wolrd that would prvide after the event legal expenses cover.

You may mean No Win No Fee solicitor.

I can recommend giving Timothy Waitt Solicitor and Partner a call at:

Solicitor & Partner
Anthony Gold Solicitors
The Beehive Coffee Tavern
496 Streatham High Road
London SW16 3QB

Direct dial: D 020 7940 4090
Telephone: 020 7940 4000

He may not be able to do "no win no fee" but may be able to give you some advice and recommend someone.

After the event insurance exists but is more common for businesses than individuals and common enough for the larger law firms.
I believe it's linked to some No Win No Fee cases.
Thank you for the details of Timothy Watt.

Are you sure an insurance broker is who you are looking for? According to the internet, an insurance broker is: "A professional who acts as an intermediary between a consumer and an insurance company, helping the former find a policy that best suits their needs. Insurance brokers represent consumers, not insurance companies; therefore, they can't bind coverage on behalf of the insurer."  In addition, the information provided by an insurance broker can't be treated as facts or used in court.
