Insurance Disputes

We work closely with corporate policyholders and brokers to effectively and efficiently resolve insurance disputes. We have expertise across a range of business classes, including PD/BI, D&O, professional indemnity, public and products liability, credit and W&I policies.

We advise clients on all aspects of insurance litigation, including:

policy reviews;
advising on contested claims;
defending companies and their directors insured under liability policies;
representing clients in coverage disputes;
claims against intermediaries and third parties;
insurance arbitrations; and
alternative dispute resolution strategies.

We work closely with our non-contentious insurance specialist colleagues to ensure that clients are supported throughout disputes by sector-specialists.
