About
Provided by Debevoise & Plimpton LLP
Debevoise's insurance practice advises leading insurers and reinsurers, new market participants, brokers and investment banks, with particular experience in the U.S., Latin America, Bermuda, Europe and the Asia Pacific regions. This global experience means the European team remains highly familiar with the specific commercial and regulatory contexts of the sector across broad geographies.
The team acts on sophisticated cross-border mergers & acquisitions within Europe, as well as capital market transactions and demutualizations. It also advises on a broad range of insurance and reinsurance products.
In its M&A and capital markets experience in particular, the team is distinct. It fields teams few other firms can match to work simultaneously on M&A and capital market matters. In this way, clients benefit from a team able to handle equity raises, stock purchase agreements, reserve financings, reinsurance agreements and bank debt transactions, all in connection with a single transaction.
Debevoise’s European Insurance practice also includes leading U.S. and UK-qualified tax, finance, regulatory and competition lawyers. The team’s experience in advising U.S., Asian and European clients on insurance transactions has given it valuable insight into the differences in approaches among various regimes. Clients rely on the team not just to track the latest regulatory developments, but also to help them design these transactions to address the changing regulatory environment.
