Webber Wentzel is best placed to service clients in terms of the provision of multi-disciplinary legal services given our in-depth knowledge and understanding of the insurance and financial services sector and our market-leading team of lawyers who has a deep understanding of the issues which the insurance and financial services sector are faced with. We have a track record over the last 30 years of consistently and repeatedly acting for major South African and international insurance companies and insurance groups in relation to business critical and complex industry-specific mandates. Most of our client relationships are long-standing relationships, which are indicative of our approach to business in building partnerships rather than providing legal advice as an external service provider. We have a strong record in M&A transactions in the insurance sector in South Africa and Africa. We have an established reputation for advising local insurers, international insurers, reinsurers and off-shore entities seeking to conduct insurance business. We provide an integrated financial regulatory offering, with a strong commercial focus and understanding of how to act within such regulatory parameters in order to meet business and commercial needs.
Contacts: Johan Henning, Partner ([email protected]); Zelda Swanepoel, Partner ([email protected]) and Maria Philippides, Partner ([email protected]).
