General Insurance & Reinsurance

General insurance

We advise on and act in claims involving fire and property damage, theft, conversion and bailment, work injury compensation and personal injury. We also handle disputes involving construction performance bonds.

Reinsurance

Our directors’ experience includes disputes over arbitration clauses in reinsurance contracts and whether a settlement of outstanding liabilities binds another reinsurer.
