Countrywide Legal Indemnities is a British title insurance company founded in 1994 and is named in the Solicitors Journal as being "one of the country's leading intermediaries". The company is based in Norwich, Norfolk and, as of 2015, employs around seventy staff.
Countrywide Legal Indemnities is an underwriting agency that works with conveyancing professionals. They supply legal indemnity insurance and protection to individuals and firms purchasing property or land with a title defect.
In 1997, Countrywide became the first legal indemnity provider to be endorsed by The Law Society, providing its members with a Defective Title insurance Scheme and other related indemnities on their behalf. This endorsement lasted until 2009, when Countrywide decided not to tender for its renewal.
In 2007, the Sunday Times listed Countrywide Legal in 34th place in its list of "Best 100 Companies".

Contaminated land and Japanese knotweed
Since 2001, local authorities in England have been testing land for harmful chemicals under the new environmental measures that were introduced and this has encouraged firms such as Countrywide to develop policies to protect against the threat of historical contaminated land.
Countrywide Legal Indemnities also launched a Japanese knotweed indemnity policy in 2015 due to changes on the TA6 property form, and the increasing number of properties affected by knotweed.
