Insurance law disputes form the backbone of Clyde & Co LLP’s dispute resolution practice, however the team is equally strong at handling a wider range of contentious work. Shareholder disputes, defamation matters, business rescue proceedings and commercial disputes are among other key drivers of work for the team, and the department regularly represents clients in the financial services, construction, mining, and health care sectors, to name a few. Wim Cilliers is a highly regarded insurance specialist in the group, and Arthur James has expertise in handling contentious shipping and transportation mandates, with a particular focus on reinsurance matters. Tony Hardie, the firm’s South Africa managing partner, is another key practitioner in the insurance space and handles a wide spectrum of contentious matters. Daniel Le Roux, Chris MacRoberts, Lauren Fine and Dominique Pereira are also star names.
