Our experience

We have been specialists in insurance and reinsurance law since 1927 and have participated actively at the very centre of some of the most celebrated and notorious issues in insurance, from Piper Alpha and the Lloyd's litigation, the LMX spiral, workers' compensation, asbestos, through to WTC and major financial disputes nationally and internationally.

In between, we have helped the industry and its customers devise and launch new products, enter new markets and resolve disputes.
