Insurance Sector: Insurer (International & Cross-Border) - UK
What the Team is Known For
A law firm renowned for its knowledge of product liability, healthcare and professional negligence matters, DAC Beachcroft stands out internationally for the strength of its contentious insurance practice. Disputes relating to all major lines of business can be handled from London, and the firm is especially well equipped to advise both UK and international insurers in connection with claims involving Latin America, thanks to a combination of in-house capabilities and associations with local practices throughout the region. Alongside an office in Singapore, DAC Beachcroft's European presence also continues to develop: the London office maintains close relationships with insurance firms across the continent, and its own offices, including in France, Ireland and Spain.
The full-service contentious claims team in the UK brings particular expertise to construction, property damage and industrial risk matters that are multi-jurisdictional in scope. Complex, cross-border reinsurance disputes are also routinely handled by the team, and a number of the firm's London-based practitioners are particularly adept at advising insurers in relation to claims involving Hispanic jurisdictions.
