Mayer Brown International LLP works on a range of cross-market, cross-border matters, with capabilities in Lloyd’s market, Part VII transfers, and other insurance transactions, while also working in capital markets and M&A in this space. With the added ability to call upon the firm’s US strong offering in international non-contentious insurance matters, the firm is well-placed to handle transactions that involve the US and other markets. Insurance-linked securities is a particular strength of the firm, with practice head Colin Scagell having substantial experience in this area alongside his wider practice in cross-border public transactions. Rebecca Bothamley is noted for her leading work in the UK transactional liability practice, and Devi Shah provides her experience as the co-lead of the firm’s restructuring, bankruptcy, and insolvency work for insurance clients. Chris Chapman and Musonda Kapotwe are also key contacts for mandates in the insurance sector.
