Insurance & reinsurance
Our Insurance and Reinsurance team was formed via the merger two outstanding law firms in Europe and the United States. The combined expertise allows us to serve the needs of an international client base with a fresh, innovative focus and an awareness of the global context within which our clients’ operate.
International Expertise
Our lawyers are culturally diverse and fluent not only in the language of Insurance and reinsurance but also in French, German, Spanish, Arabic and Danish, ensuring that whether your insurance or reinsurance issues are domestic or international you will receive an appropriate and proactive level of representation.
Insurance and Reinsurance team
Our lawyers are fully committed to providing sound proactive legal advice combined with it being delivered in a cost efficient manner and with the highest of standards.
Many of our lawyers have worked in house and combine a unique blend of commercial and legal expertise, providing the added value of legal service with a commercial edge.
We actively attend industry seminars and conferences and support various market initiatives through our membership and relationships with ARIAS, AIDA, the RAA and BILA.
Our insurance practice represents insurers in connection with all types of coverage issues on various policies and routinely prepares coverage opinions as well as audits and claims reviews of Program business and MGA’s.
We have substantial experience in dealing with both general liability and professional liability claims and have acted on behalf of professionals at all levels, including accountants, architects, construction, insurance brokers and captive managers to name but a few.
Our reinsurance practice is equally at home advising cedants and reinsurers alike.
Arbitration and court judgements amount to little unless assets are there to satisfy judgements or awards. We have had notable success in securing both pre action security and post award/judgement recovery on both a national and international level.
Similarly we have enjoyed many successes defending our reinsurer clients from overreaching cedants.
Our reinsurance practice has also assisted many clients on various run off and exit strategy solutions where they have decided to either cease underwriting or re engineer their existing books of business.
Above all whether it is Facultative or Treaty reinsurance, non marine or marine Lloyds or Company market we have made it a point to know our clients and their needs in a reinsurance world which is ever global and result driven.
Litigation or non contentious we aim to partner with you to obtain the right result. How do we do this? By being smart when it matters…….and adding value when it counts.
