Accounting for a third of the world’s insurance industry, Europe is a key market for insurers, reinsurers and intermediaries. 

The insurance industry faces a growing number of challenges and opportunities that can have a significant impact on your business:

• The shift to new technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and the ever-increasing use of big data
• Growing regulatory requirements, including EU regulation such as Solvency II, ESG and the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD)
• Climate change, environmental challenges, and the increasing frequency of natural disasters
• The global COVID-19 pandemic and associated health and economic risks
• Supply chain disruption, including increasing issues arising from the global pandemic, the impact of climate change and increasing cyber attacks

Our team can help you make the most of the opportunities to optimise your business, while also navigating the risks posed by the latest trends. Covering the whole range of risks and issues affecting the insurance and reinsurance world, we can assist you with both non-contentious (distribution, product review, regulatory, M&A/transactional) and contentious matters (dispute resolution including mediation and arbitration). 

Whether you are litigating a complex claim, dealing with issues related to policy wording, growing your business, or adapting to the latest regulatory developments, our experienced, multi-competency Insurance team is the natural choice.
