Walkers‘ ’wonderfully knowledgeable‘ insurance and reinsurance practice is active across the market, including the thriving and increasingly complex life and annuity reinsurance work, and the cross-border insolvency of Premier Assurance Group. The firm continues to have a strong offering in the traditional captive market, while also reflecting the wider market trend of more diverse clients entering the Cayman insurance space. Leadership of the department is shared between specialist financial regulatory and risk management lawyer Lucy Frew, and Philip Paschalides, whose structured finance background and experience is now deployed on insurance matters, developing innovative structures compliant with CIMA. Juliana Tang draws on professional experience at an insurance and reinsurance broker to assist with regulatory matters and cross-border transactions.
