Slaughter and May remains at the forefront of the insurance industry through the ‘depth and breadth’ of its offering, with a strong offering across the full range of transactional, regulatory, and strategic matters. Able to draw upon the firm’s leading regulatory capital, financial regulation, and insurance disputes teams among other practices, the firm is well-placed to comprehensively service the most high-profile insurers in their major, cross-border mandates. Jonathan Marks heads the insurance group with a broad corporate and insurance practice that covers the life and non-life sectors. Nick Bonsall deploys his ‘encyclopaedic knowledge of insurance regulation’ in addition to his experience across the wider financial services sector. Natalie Cook and Nick Pacheco are both part of the wider corporate and financial services group, and have advised major insurers on their multijurisdictional operations in respect of strategy and structuring issues. Senior counsel Thomas Peacock and Edward Steward are also of note, bringing expertise in the risk transfer market, and insurance and banking business transfer schemes respectively. Craig Cleaver retired from partnership in December 2022 and Robert Chaplin departed the firm in October 2022 to join Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP.
