Title Indemnity
Key contacts
Our insurance team is one of the leading insurance practices in the market. Our team has considerable expertise in title insurance issues that may arise on a transaction involving property and has assisted several European offices in reviewing and negotiating indemnity insurance policy wordings on behalf of our clients.
In recent years Central and Eastern Europe has seen strong growth in the uptake of title insurance coverage. The take up is not restricted to purchasers of property but also existing owners in their position as sellers, developers and lenders financing the transaction. Given the large scale of these transactions indemnity insurance capacity is often sourced from the London insurance market and policies subject to English law.
Our insurance team has assisted numerous CEE offices in the review and negotiation of policy wordings for clients as well as offering more general advice on English law issues such as how to make a claim, the consequences of breach of policy conditions or the obligations on an insured/loss payee under various types of policy. As we also act for insurers in coverage disputes arising out of title indemnity insurance we are well versed in dealing with the key issues that tend to arise.
Dispute resolution: We help our clients avoid litigation and provide expert advice to resolve disputes where possible. Our advice is clear, commercial and conscious of reputational risk. We will vigorously defend unmeritorious claims.
Full Service: As a full-service firm, we work closely with colleagues in areas such as tax and insolvency to provide comprehensive advice focused on achieving the best outcome.
