We are dedicated insurance lawyers who grasp the insurance sector and all of its various subsectors, rather than generalists who represent insurers only from time to time.
Whether you are an insurer, reinsurer, insurance asset manager, distributor, broker or investor, we understand your business, your position in the market, the business opportunities, challenges and risks you face and the regulations that apply to you.
Our job as deal lawyers is to devise practical solutions to complex problems. We identify and head off potential pitfalls to help ensure you get the outcomes you want. Our insurance M&A lawyers couple sharp negotiating and drafting skills with insurance sector knowledge, but also draw on the experience of colleagues in other fields such as tax, data privacy, IP and IT and employment – all experienced in insurance -- to provide you with all the resources needed to get deals done. We are trusted advisors to our clients’ senior management and boards.
We are recognized deal lawyers in the insurance world and some of the world’s largest insurance and reinsurance groups have taken our advice on multi-billion dollar transactions. Whatever the undertaking, our aim is to help you manage risks and get deals done in a timely and efficient manner.
Our lawyers are experienced in all aspect of insurance M&A, reinsurance and restructuring. Representative experience includes:
- acting for consulting business on its £412m offer for a UK PLC
- representing an investment company., as insurance M&A and regulatory counsel, in its successful contested acquisition of reinsurance group for $6.8 billion
- advising on all aspects of the creation, administration and operation of an innovative, world-first solution for flood insurance in the UK that represented unprecedented co-operation between the Association of British Insurers, the government, the UK insurance market and the global reinsurance market
