Insurance litigation: for policyholders

Fenchurch Law

Fenchurch Law has deep sector knowledge and experience, and specialises exclusively in representing policyholders in their insurance disputes and working collaboratively with insurers for the benefit of its clients. The practice is bolstered by its large team of specialist lawyers, including David Pryce, who spearheads the team and specialises in handling complex and high-value insurance coverage disputes, particularly those related to construction projects, with much of his work involving disputes arising under construction all-risks. Joanna Grant leads the construction and property risks team, advising on related disputes, including under contractors’ all risk, commercial property and building defect guarantee policies. Jonathan Corman leads the financial and professional risks practice, while Amy Lacey advises on coverage under a wide range of first-party and liability insurances.
