Dentons‘s insurance and reinsurance practice is well known for its expertise in claims across the construction, energy, pharmaceutical, retail, and infrastructure sectors. The practice is particularly active on behalf of foreign insurers and reinsurers (especially from the London market), in relation to cover-related claims involving physical damage, business interruption, general liability, directors and officers coverage and political risk. The team’s workload frequently involves legal opinions on insurance law and insurance and reinsurance contracts, advice on adjustment processes, acting as claims controllers and leading settlement negotiations. Recent highlights also included recovery actions, where the group leveraged the firm’s litigation and arbitration experience.
