Over the past 15 years, our Insurance Recovery group has assisted corporate policyholders in a wide range of complex, high-value coverage disputes against major insurers and reinsurers in the global market.
We have worked with some of the world’s largest companies to resolve complex insurance disputes arising from high-profile events and mass tort actions, helping them recover hundreds of millions of dollars for underlying claims and losses. We have tried-and-tested experience in litigating these disputes before the English High Court and all major arbitral institutions, as well as coordinating litigation in other jurisdictions. As a disputes-only practice, we are rarely conflicted.
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. In insurance and reinsurance recovery claims, we have extensive experience 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.
We represent clients in insurance litigation before the English High Court and in arbitrations, including Bermuda Form, ICC, LCIA and ad hoc proceedings. We frequently manage cases in London, Bermuda, the United States and other jurisdictions. 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.
