Insurance

We have an in-depth knowledge of all manner of insurance disputes, acting for insurers as well as policyholders. Our wide-ranging experience includes public liability, product lability (such as agricultural produce), property damage, employment practices liability and professional and other financial risks, together with directors and officers liability.

Technical excellence is at the heart of what we do and we ensure that the highest of standards are maintained.

We have pursued and defended claims in the Higher Courts as well as in the County Court and we regularly participate in Alternative Dispute Resolution, such as mediation, in order to settle claims on a cost effective basis.

We have regularly advised insurers on policy coverage issues, together with risk management issues.

When acting for Insurers, we seek to reduce indemnity spend and achieve the best results for Insurers as well as their insureds. We ensure that we comply with the specific reporting requirements of our clients, including reliable and accurate management information. Reputational issues are often important and are taken into consideration when achieving the best settlement for our clients

We have developed a particular knowledge of claims involving professional advisers, including solicitors, financial advisers, accountants, architects, surveyors and other property professionals. We regularly advise clients in relation to property subsidence issues.

Our work for insurers has also involved the pursuit of subrogated recovery claims following the settlement of claims made against their insureds.
