Insurance Defence

About

Provided by Moray & Agnew

Moray & Agnew has Australia’s largest dedicated defendant insurance law team. Our lawyers have enabled us to field legal teams in parallel to most insurance lines of business, ranging from major lines through to niche offerings. Our extensive experience in these areas of law means we can advise clients at the earliest stages, which matters demand early settlement, at what cost, and which should be defended. This has developed our reputation for strong technical insurance law credentials and a successful track record of delivering high quality legal services and commercially pragmatic outcomes for a large group of both national and global clients.

Our reputation as insurance law experts is matched by an excellent understanding of the key issues affecting the global insurance and reinsurance industry, including the ability to quickly identify challenges such as emerging risks and claims trends. We service most Australian and international general insurers (including leading Lloyd’s of London syndicates), niche insurers, underwriters, brokers, reinsurers, claims managers, together with all tiers of government (eg Comcover and Comcare, icare in NSW, VMIA in Victoria, ICWA in Western Australia) and large self-insureds. Insurers value our cost-consciousness, sound judgment, model litigant behaviour, and persuasive reasoning, which consistently deliver favourable outcomes. High settlement rates reflect our ability to achieve positive results, within reserves, using ADR processes.
