About

Provided by Tughans

Our team’s main focus is defending claims and advising on policy cover on behalf of insurance companies and corporate clients. Our size, coupled with our sector-specific knowledge and skills means we have the depth and expertise to help our clients control and manage claims, including those of a multi-jurisdictional nature. Our clients represent the full spectrum of the sector including insurance companies, brokers, loss adjustors, self-insured organisations, corporates and public bodies.

We work across all sectors to ensure clients receive industry-specific advice from a purpose-built dispute resolution team. It allows us to add real value by providing specialist legal knowledge and practical, business-focused insights. Ideally, and because of our close client partnership approach, we can often anticipate areas of potential disagreement and suggest ways to prevent them becoming a costly distraction.
