Over the past 15 years, our Insurance Recovery group has assisted corporate policyholders in a wide range of complex, high-value coverage disputes. We have helped our clients recover hundreds of millions of dollars through successful negotiation, arbitration and litigation.
We work with some of the world’s largest companies to resolve insurance disputes arising from a wide variety of claims, including high-profile catastrophe events, mass torts and environmental liabilities.
We have tried-and-tested experience in litigating insurance disputes before the English High Court and in arbitrations, including Bermuda Form, ICC, LCIA, LMAA and ad hoc proceedings. We frequently manage cases in London, Bermuda, the United States and other jurisdictions.
As a disputes-only practice, we are rarely conflicted and so can act against all the major insurers and reinsurers. We regularly come up against the same London-based insurer-side legal teams, and apply that experience to secure the best possible outcomes for our policyholder clients.
We also have extensive experience acting as co-counsel with foreign law firms on cross-jurisdictional insurance and reinsurance matters, where clients value our detailed and sophisticated knowledge of the London arbitration market and our strategic expertise in dispute-critical matters such as tribunal selection.
As with all our work, our priority is always the efficient resolution of disputes with minimal business and reputational disruption. We work closely with clients, tailoring our approach to each case and to each client’s specific objectives to achieve the best possible result. We are also experienced in helping policyholders devise strategies to achieve early settlements through mediation, and our expert team advises on the most effective mediation strategies to secure optimised recoveries.
