We understand that disputes involving the insurance market require deep insight, often across jurisdictions, and the ability to apply this sector experience to find an efficient route to claim resolution.
We are the leading global adviser for policyholders with insurance coverage issues, and represent clients in the largest, most high-profile and complex disputes in the London and international markets. We work extensively with insurance intermediaries and can also support insurance and reinsurance companies on strategically important disputes.
Most companies around the world use insurance as a means of effective risk transfer for their business. From traditional policies such as property damage and business interruption, directors and officers (D&O) liability, professional indemnity, public and product liability, to newer and more bespoke products including cyber, credit and political risk, warranty and indemnity (W&I) and other transactional insurance policies and covers enabling the energy transition, we have the relevant experience.
Our team has particular experience analysing and resolving claims made under representation and warranties, tax and other transactional liability insurance policies, often working with both primary and excess insurers to resolve claims out of court by providing efficient and targeted analysis of alleged breaches and claimed losses. Our lawyers helped develop these products and have unparalleled experience in all aspects of the business, from underwriting to claims resolution.
Assisting with major claims is our core capability, including advice on coverage, claim project management and claims advocacy to secure appropriate settlement using the full range of dispute resolution procedures spanning litigation, arbitration and all forms of alternative dispute resolution.
We also bring our experience of the claims arena to bear when advising clients on non-contentious aspects of insurance, including the preparation and review of policy wordings and risk allocation under contracts.
