We are widely acknowledged as
a market leader in reinsurance and have been described
by Chambers & Partners as "the
premier London market
reinsurance firm".
Our team has unrivalled
experience in dispute resolution and advisory work
covering all classes of reinsurance including non-marine,
marine, energy, aviation, and life. We are
frequently called upon to advise on large multinational insurance
disputes both in the UK and
internationally.
We have acted in, or advised
upon, most major disputes affecting the reinsurance
market over the last two decades. Many of our cases
have shaped reinsurance law. The majority of our dispute
resolution work, however, is
handled in confidential arbitration, or by using mediation or
other forms of ADR.
Our lawyers also advise on the
creation of new products, and forms of risk transfer.
We have been involved in many innovative
transactions and are often consulted in relation to
the drafting of new wordings, both for clients and for the
market in general.
Our commitment to the
development of the industry is demonstrated by our production of
Reinsurance Practice & the Law, which has
become the standard text of industry practitioners and is
often cited in the courts and
arbitrations.
We have been awarded The
Review Worldwide Reinsurance Professional Service Provider of
the Year Award three times and are the only lawyers to have been
so honoured by the reinsurance
market.
