The Hyatt organization was founded in 1977 as a way to make quality legal
services affordable and accessible for all Americans. It quickly grew into one
of the largest law firms in the U.S. In 1981, Hyatt Legal Services implemented
its first group legal plan, utilizing its attorney offices throughout the
country to provide legal assistance to plan members.
Hyatt's first group legal plan sponsors included American Express, AT&T
and PepsiCo, all of which remain Hyatt legal plan sponsors today. Hyatt Legal
Plans was spun off from Hyatt Legal Services in 1990 and was acquired by MetLife
in 1997.
Today,
Hyatt Legal Plans is the largest group legal plan provider in the country,
serving four million plan members and their families at over 1,000 sponsors,
including more than 100 of the Fortune 500® companies.
