Insurance
Coverage, claims handling, recovery and insurance disputes, drawing on first-hand experience of insurance operations, claims and risk, a founding strength of the firm.
Scope of practice
Insurance has been a core strength of the firm since its foundation, built on direct experience of how insurance operations, claims and risk actually work from the inside. We advise insurers, insureds and businesses on coverage, claims handling and disputes, with an understanding of both the legal position and the commercial realities of the market.
We are equally comfortable on the policy wording that prevents a dispute and on the litigation or arbitration that resolves one. That dual perspective, preventive and contentious, is unusual and valuable.
Typical matters
- Coverage analysis and policy interpretation
- Claims handling and claims disputes
- Insurance and reinsurance disputes
- Subrogation and recovery
- Liability, property and marine cargo claims
- Policy wording and risk allocation
How we assist
We bring a practitioner's understanding of insurance to every matter, assessing coverage and exposure realistically, and pursuing or defending claims with advice that is workable in the market, not only on paper.
