Reinsurance

Our Reinsurance team is one of the leading reinsurance practices in the market. We act on the largest and most complex reinsurance litigation and arbitrations, and advise on the development of innovative products and compliance within an ever-changing regulatory environment. We have significant experience in advising on all types of inwards and outwards reinsurance and retrocession claims across non-marine (including property and casualty), marine, aviation, accident and health and life classes of business.

We handle work across the entire reinsurance sector, examples include:

  • WTC losses 
  • Power plant losses 
  • Natural catastrophe losses 
  • Wording
  • Variable quota share arbitration 
  • Regulatory and solvency 
  • Run-off
  • International business

Dispute resolution: We have the capability to handle the largest international disputes, regulatory and transactional assignments, but we also believe in quality, focused, commercial advice, proportionate to the sums at risk. 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: Much of our practice is international, conducting or overseeing arbitrations or transactions in jurisdictions as diverse as London, Bermuda, the US, Australia, the Far East, Middle East and Continental Europe. The breadth and depth of expertise across our CMS network ensures an unrivalled European footprint.
