What the Team is Known For

Twenty Essex has considerable strength across a broad array of international mandates, including high-value insurance litigation and Bermuda Form arbitrations. Members are regularly instructed by insureds, insurers and reinsurers. Twenty Essex offers an impressive depth of expertise in matters arising from the marine, energy and finance sectors. Sources say they are "more than capable of dealing with highly technical issues" and that the set has "well-known leaders in their field and a great depth in talent". Members are acting for reinsurers in the Russian aviation litigation.
