Insurance and reinsurance

A powerhouse in the London market, our Insurance and Reinsurance practice is one of the largest and most respected in the country. Our clients include the major Lloyd's managing agencies and UK, European, Bermudian and US insurers. Our aim is to equip our lawyers with the legal and business skills necessary to provide real benefit to our insurance clients. Our expertise spans all areas of insurance and reinsurance law and practice. We are there when our clients need us most - when developing new products, advising on issues affecting our clients' business or acting on their behalf in disputes.

The Insurance and Reinsurance team is a pioneer in developing cutting edge technology for the benefit of its clients. Our litigation workflow system, STREAMLINE, is the most advanced of its type in use today and our reinsurance wordings database, ReWord, is already in use with 20 of the world's largest reinsurers. ReWord was recognised at the July 2008 British Insurance Awards when it won the Technology award.

Our lawyers are some of the most eminent practitioners in their fields with particular expertise in the fields of directors' & officers' liability, complex high value coverage disputes, multi-jurisdictional disputes, property and subrogated recoveries.
