Drawing upon ‘deep industry expertise’, A&O Shearman’s insurance team provides standalone regulatory support as well as advice supporting transactional work in the sector, where it is able to ‘co-operate in a seamless way with other specialised teams, such as their excellent M&A and banking departments’. Team head Paul Péporté is popular among insurance companies looking to establish a presence in Luxembourg, as well as in relation to insurance products distribution. He also handles insurance-related transactional work, recently advising an international insurer on the sale of a subsidiary. Noted for her ’very good’ reasoning skills, counsel Helena Finn is a ‘valuable resource’ for work in the sector, while at a more senior level Pierre Schleimer is also recommended.
