Insurance law is the central pillar of Kennedys‘ global offering, and the Paris team frequently joins forces with the firm’s other international offices to handle complex, cross-border mandates. The team is particularly well known for its excellent record in insurance disputes, with strong recent activity in the fields of reinsurance, political risks and trade credit insurance, but also advises on regulatory and compliance issues, where Safine Hadri is the key contact. The other leading figures in the team are Paris managing partner Alexis Valençon, who is a go-to name for high-stakes litigation and arbitration; Aurélia Cadain, an expert in aviation and product liability cases in particular; and Nicolas Bouckaert, who frequently handles political risks and trade credit claims.
