Insurance: Transactional - Germany
What the Team is Known For
The team at the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is regularly sought after by prominent insurers, private equity houses and pension funds for its excellence in insurance mandates. High-profile M&A and run-off transactions as well as restructurings, especially related to Brexit, constitute key areas of the team's expertise. The team offers significant facility in the acquisition of insurtech businesses. Supervision law matters and PRIIPS regulation topics and recovery plans are equally handled by the firm. Clients can also benefit from a strong ability in contentious matters, with the department active in litigation, including large-scale insolvencies. Due to the global nature of the Freshfields team, cross-border deals are commonplace at the firm.
