Drawing on the combined strength of our Finance, Corporate and Disputes departments, we deliver strategic, commercially focused advice to leading domestic and international insurance groups.

We advise on the establishment, authorisation and supervision of life and non-life (re)insurance operations in Ireland, including EU passporting. We support clients on Solvency II compliance, governance and fitness and probity, regulatory investigations, portfolio transfers (including court and regulatory approvals), distribution arrangements, capital raisings, securitisations and structured finance.
Our contentious practice handles high-value (re)insurance disputes, policy wording and avoidance issues, litigation, arbitration and insolvency processes, including wind-ups and administrations. We also advise on property and professional indemnity insurance.
Recent mandates include transformative cross-border integrations, major public company acquisitions, complex portfolio transfers and ongoing regulatory advisory work for global insurance leaders.
