The insurance practice in Spain handles large, complex, and high-profile cross-border claims and non-contentious advice in the international insurance and reinsurance sectors. This includes matters related to commercial and regulatory work, as well as disputes over general insurance and reinsurance coverage, representing clients in dispute resolution procedures of all kinds, encompassing litigation, arbitration, mediation, and other ADR. The Spanish team works closely with and forms part of the global insurance and reinsurance practice, which is widely regarded as one of the market's finest, advising on all aspects of insurance and reinsurance matters, whether corporate, regulatory, pre-contentious, or contentious.
The sector focus is wide, though the team specialises in energy, infrastructure, insurance, financial services, and TMT, with particular in-depth knowledge of Fintech and Insurtech areas. This enables them to advise on regulatory and disputes in innovative areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber risk, and cryptocurrency assets. The team is led by Alejandra Galdos and Jaime Bofill on contentious and non-contentious insurance advice, respectively. It also includes renowned experts such as regional head of disputes EMEA Paulino Fajardo, and the support of senior associates Joaquín Fernández, Jorge Etreros and Guillermo Ruiz Barrilero.
