Insurance

Our insurance team draws on the expertise of our international network to advise the London market and international insurers on complex cases and mandates.

We act for London market insurers, specialist Lloyds syndicates, professional firms and financial institutions – who trust us with their high-profile, high-stakes issues.

On the contentious side we focus on professional liability, financial markets, directors and officers’ claims, product liability and recall, construction and engineering, reinsurance and large property losses. Cyber is an increasingly important element of our work.

The non-contentious side of the practice advises insurers and their counterparties on corporate transactions, regulatory and compliance issues (including Solvency II, SMCR and GDPR), structural and capital transactions and insurance-linked securities and derivatives.

Everyone in our hand-picked team is steeped in the market. All our associates and some of our partners have been on secondment in the industry for at least a year. This gives us direct experience of the kind of legal and practical challenges you face – whether as an insurer, an intermediary or a service provider.

We’re not trying to be all things to all people – we are specialists, which means the quality of our work is second to none.
