About

Provided by Edwin Coe LLP

Edwin Coe is one of the UK’s leading insurance litigation teams, and we are acknowledged for its excellence in all of the recognised legal directories, both individually and collectively.

Edwin Coe is different because, unlike other specialist insurance firms, it acts exclusively for policyholders and has no ties to particular insurers, underwriting syndicates, or insurance intermediaries. This means that it can provide the highest quality advice on all aspects of your policy coverage, including related claims in professional negligence against insurance brokers and third party advisors.

Edwin Coe has specialised in complex insurance litigation for over 50 years and has considerable expertise in all areas of insurance law, and across a variety of business sectors.

Its experience, coupled with its strengths in commercial and restructuring work, enables it to assist clients not only in dealing with their disputed claim, but also in coping with cash flow, trade creditors and many other related commercial problems that often arise from the delayed settlement of an insurance claim.

A disputed insurance claim can often feel as if the whole insurance market is against you, just at the time when you most need support. Edwin Coe's role is to ensure that policyholders receive the best representation at a reasonable cost in order to maximise their recovery. It is a role it has successfully fulfilled over many years.
