We regularly advise on complex coverage issues involving energy, mining, manufacturing, infrastructure and hospitality risks. This includes multinational policies, commercial general liability, umbrella, Bermuda Form, and other excess liability coverages as well as reinsurance.
We are experienced in domestic and international litigation, arbitration, and mediation.
Our work includes advising on all types of liability claims faced by an insured, from personal injury and property damage to claims by employees and the users of products, and pollution losses.
We take great care in looking after the relationships between our (re)insurer clients and all other stakeholders, including brokers and adjusters.
When dealing with international losses, our aim is to provide an early analysis of the potential exposure and to tailor our approach to guide the response to the claim appropriately. Often this means being proactive in looking for ways to reach an early resolution in jurisdictions where litigation can be long.
Our experience includes:
Mining
Oil pipeline ruptures and spillages
Gas liability and pipeline rupture
Construction and infrastructure
Product liability and recall
Public liability
Long tail (disease, abuse claims, legacy accounts)
