Our international insurance and reinsurance team specialises in both contentious and non-contentious insurance and reinsurance work, acting for major international and domestic insurers and reinsurers, and intermediaries.

Our recent experience reflects industry trends and includes:

  • regulatory review of industry practices;
  • the acquisition of books of annuity business;
  • the acquisition of insurance portfolios;
  • the acquisition of closed funds;
  • disposal of other non-core assets;
  • the creation of broad distribution arrangements;
  • structured financings of insurance businesses;
  • financings ahead of new industry capital requirements;
  • finality solutions for run-off portfolios; and
  • insolvencies and restructurings.

Our insurance practice was awarded 'Insurance Team of the Year 2009' at the Legal Business Awards (February 2009), in recognition of our excellence in this area.
