The leading team in the property field
Our global property team delivers specialist insurance experience worldwide. We advise clients on a range of property matters, from drafting policies or handling a regular flow of instructions for the Coverholder/ MGA markets through to advising on the largest and most complex international disputes for the London market and international insurers.
We have experience across a range of industries including, amongst others, agriculture, chemicals, education, food, leisure, local authority, pharmaceutical, rail and utilities. We work with our industry sector groups to provide the broadest range of expertise in the market.
We are well versed in the core property, business interruption and standard wordings in the market and give coverage advice on a range of issues. We undertake a range of liability work under public, products and employers liability policies provided by property insurers.
We regularly pursue subrogated recoveries against the owners of neighbouring premises, contractors, architects, surveyors and the manufacturers of defective products. We also often undertake fire spread and latent defect claims.
Our property team provides advice on fraud, particularly exaggerated claims and manufactured evidence, and on the suppression of defences.
