We understand that disputes involving the insurance market require specialist expertise, often across jurisdictions, and the ability to apply this sector experience to find an efficient route to claim resolution.
We have the leading global practice (outside the US) 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) insurance and covers enabling the energy transition, we have the relevant expertise.
Assisting with major claims is our core expertise, including advice on coverage, claim project management, claims advocacy to secure appropriate settlement of the claim using the full range of dispute resolution procedures including 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.
