legal expenses

Lawyer fee payments

Legal expenses are costs incurred in connection with legal matters—attorney fees, court filing fees, expert witness costs, and related outlays.

Insurance policies and employment contracts often specify whether legal expenses are covered or reimbursable: The company agreed to pay her legal expenses if she was sued for actions taken in her official capacity.
