Insurance

We'll help you navigate complex disputes, understand policy requirements and risks, and embrace emerging technologies.

Our team provides the full insurance package – handling claims, drafting policies, and advising on regulation and compliance. We act for Lloyd’s syndicates, UK regulatory bodies, start-ups, brokers and policyholders.

We’re commercial litigators who understand the wider commercial picture, and because we act for claimants and defendants, we understand the full legal landscape. For subrogated recoveries, we have our own, unique litigation fund, Capital Dispute Finance, which covers all of your costs – not just fees.

We’re InsurTech specialists, too. We can draft and design innovative policy, including parametric insurance, contract liability indemnity, policies using sensors, telematics, automation, artificial intelligence and APIs.
