Insurance

We help you succeed in a changing insurance market. However you are driving growth, our pragmatic and responsive advice ensures seamless execution.

We have deep experience in the insurance sector, working with (re)insurers, brokers, other intermediaries and insurtech providers on complex corporate and commercial transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, business transfers, restructurings, insurance distribution (including affinity partnerships), insurance outsourcing and insurtech arrangements.

We provide regulatory and governance advice, helping you stay compliant in a dynamic environment. We also act on insurance disputes and complex claims resolution. Our team has experience of acting for clients in both the life and general insurance sectors, as well as those operating in the Lloyd’s market.

Many of our lawyers have also worked in-house at insurers, brokers and regulators. This inside track on your challenges means we provide high quality commercial counsel that gives you the edge — from adapting to new regulatory obligations and embracing technology to meeting shifting stakeholder expectations.
