Our Insurance team advises leading insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries, investors and financial institutions on the full spectrum of corporate, regulatory and transactional matters across the insurance sector.
Our lawyers have extensive experience advising on M&A, portfolio transfers, reinsurance arrangements, restructurings, demutualisations, joint ventures and group reorganisations. We are recognised for our ability to deliver complex, multi-jurisdictional projects that demand coordination with regulators such as the PRA, FCA and overseas authorities.
The team brings together corporate and regulatory specialists who understand the commercial drivers of the insurance market and the operational realities of capital, solvency and governance frameworks. We work seamlessly with colleagues in tax, employment, data privacy, pensions and technology to provide fully integrated, practical solutions.
Our clients include many of the world’s largest insurance and reinsurance groups as well as private equity sponsors, brokers and new market entrants. We are frequently engaged on strategically significant transactions, innovative reinsurance structures and group reorganisations that require careful regulatory navigation and precise execution.
Whether advising on the acquisition or disposal of regulated entities, the design of risk-transfer structures or the implementation of complex cross-border reorganisations, we focus on clarity, efficiency and achieving the outcomes our clients need.
