Fenchurch Law launches new re/insurance practice group

UK law firm  Fenchurch Law has launched a new practice group focused on Reinsurance & International Risks.

The new group will focus on representing non-UK policyholders in complex and high value insurance disputes under policies placed either directly into the London Market, or placed locally and then reinsured, into the London Market.

Led by the firm’s Managing Partner, David Pryce (pictured), the new practice group will also take instructions from captives, and from non-UK insurers which have coverage disputes with London Market insurers.

Pryce explained: “The London Market has a long and well-established reputation for paying claims. However, it is a fact of business life that occasionally disagreements do arise between policyholders and insurers, particularly when losses are large.

“We’ve launched this new dedicated practice group to reflect the increasingly international nature of our work, which is itself a reflection of the way the London Market continues to be a global leader in writing bespoke and complex risks.  In doing so, we’re furthering our purpose of levelling the playing field between policyholders and their insurers, not just in the UK, but across the world.”
