International Expertise

Underwriting knows no boundaries and insurance lawyers need to have a global view and be ready to deal with a multiplicity of jurisdictional issues.  We have lawyers who are familiar with the court practices and procedures in the US and across Europe, Australasia and South America.

Our clients enjoy immediate access to our international expertise.  Where local specialists are still required, we have good working relationships with a number of top professionals, particularly in the US.

Examples of international work undertaken include:

• International coverage disputes.
• The effect of US proceedings and regulation on UK entities.
• The application of international conventions on litigation in the US and UK, including assisting foreign courts in the UK and taking evidence abroad.
• Forum and jurisdiction disputes.
• International arbitrations.
• Advise on global insurance programmes.
• Working with monitoring counsel in other jurisdictions.
• Acting as monitoring counsel for US insurers in the UK.
