Insurance: Contentious Claims & Reinsurance

The largest insurance team in any Scottish independent law firm, representing many major UK and international insurers and their commercial insureds. 

Unique to BTO is the broadest range of legal insurance specialists in Scotland, each of whom focuses 100% on their own practice area in cases from low value volume claims to catastrophic. This approach ensures the right ‘fit’ and optimum outcome for every case.

Our experts operate in teams dealing with regulatory issues, food claims, motor claims, personal injury, property damage claims, environmental claims, product liability and cyber claims, to name a few.

We are involved in some of the highest value and most complex claims in Scotland and assist numerous clients in the reduction and management of high volume claims. 

We provide complete coverage of Scotland responding to urgent instructions, no matter the location and are frequently instructed by insurers in matters which have cross border issues and cases involving multi-jurisdictional and £multi-million claims.

Having developed numerous niche teams to meet the  sector's evolving needs, we are considered to be an adaptable player in the insurance market.

Our internal advocacy team is the largest in Scotland with 17 civil solicitor advocates and 3 criminal solicitor advocates.

Highly commercially aware, our experience has shown that collaboration and pragmatism facilitate the early resolution of cases, where appropriate, minimising cost, risk and exposure for our clients.
