Insurance Disputes
For many years, leading experts in Allen & Overy's Dispute Resolution practice have been advising national and international insurers and reinsurers on the examination and enforcement of, or the defence against, claims resulting from contractual relationships with brokers, distribution partners, agents and other market participants in the insurance sector. They also represent companies in asserting insurance coverage claims against insurers or brokers.
Our clients benefit not only from our in-depth industry knowledge and particular expertise in the area of private international, commercial and procedural law but also from the fact that Allen & Overy can count on the services of highly experienced specialists when it comes to advising and representing our clients in national and international arbitration proceedings (ad-hoc and institutional proceedings) and for arbitrator work (chair, sole arbitrator, party-nominated arbitrator).
