Why come to us:
Davies Arnold Cooper has a leading international insurance and reinsurance practice, with a team of over 80 litigation lawyers across our London, Madrid, Manchester and Mexico City offices.
We have particular strength advising on complex and high value claims whether domestic or international, acting for insurers, underwriting agents, brokers, intermediaries and risk managers. Our lawyers are specialists in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, as well as litigation. Our team also includes specialist regulatory and corporate insurance lawyers.
With market-leading practices in Madrid and Mexico City, in addition to London, we have real strength across Spain and Latin America.
Our approach is different from other law firms. We combine legal rigour with a flexible and down-to-earth service that places a premium on developing strong long-term relationships with clients.
How we can help:
Our insurance lawyers offer practical, user friendly and at all times commercial advice.
We advise on everything from straightforward claims to catastrophes, property, construction, casualty, liability, reinsurance, a broad range of professional indemnity, directors' and officers' liabilities, financial institutions, financial risks and markets, ART, finite risks, captives, subrogation, and more. We also advise on regulatory and disciplinary issues, policy programmes and products, contract drafting, binding authorities, and commercial litigation both insurance related and non-related.
What we’ve done:
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 (and the myriad issues it has generated), 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, resolve disputes and improve their mutual understanding for more successful business. We are partners for insurance and reinsurance, for buyers and sellers.
Our insurance lawyers have also been a major advocate for insurance law reform.
