Chambers Review
DLA Piper houses a well-regarded insurance practice, which spans regulatory as well as transactional mandates for policyholders and prominent insurers. Its team regularly represents clients in complex and high-value disputes including mass proceedings often in relation to D&O, E&O, W&I and construction defects as well as product liability claims, with these disputes often being cross-border. The firm also has experience drafting multi-jurisdictional insurance contracts, along with cooperation agreements between insurtech companies and large insurers. In addition, insurers seek the firm's assistance with the implications of insolvencies of policyholders while also handling authority proceedings. Due to its international office network, the law firm is well placed to handle cross-border insurance mandates.
