About

Provided by Tilleke & Gibbins

Tilleke & Gibbins’ regional Insurance team is recognized as one of the strongest legal advisory teams for insurers and reinsurers in Thailand and across Southeast Asia. We represent leading global insurance and reinsurance companies in a full range of contentious and non-contentious matters, including insurance claims, risk assessment, dispute resolution strategies, legal implications of new product offerings, day-to-day business functions, and process improvements in the industry.

As insurance becomes increasingly prevalent in the rapidly developing economies of Southeast Asia—from the advanced and highly adaptive environments in Thailand and Vietnam to the emerging markets in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar—Tilleke & Gibbins helps insurers capitalize on market opportunities, manage risk, mitigate damages, and succeed in their goals of safeguarding the development and sustainable growth of the region. To that end, our insurance experts in Thailand regularly work in tandem with our on-the-ground teams in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam to advise on insurance industry matters.

Our services encompass a wide array of areas, including authorization and licensing, bancassurance, broking activity, coverage disputes, Insurtech product offerings, liability (employer, public, product, etc.), litigation and arbitration, M&As and corporate restructuring, online distribution, policy wording and localization, professional indemnity, and general insurance regulatory compliance.
