‘Gide's insurance team has the great advantage of having in-depth expertise in both regulatory matters and insurance litigation. Gide is without a doubt one of the leading firms in the insurance law sector, whether it concerns life or non-life insurance, litigation or consulting. It is one of the very few firms in the sector that can handle any case relating to the very unique subject of insurance. The partners know all the aspects - legal but also economic and operational.’
