Insurance and Pensions

Insurance is a complex and technical area. The insurance industry is constantly facing new challenges arising from technological innovation, new competitors and increased regulation.

Our firm has experience in assisting clients in a full range of insurance issues. We handle commercial insurance disputes, advise risk service providers and review insurance contracts. We also advise both traditional and startup insurance industry companies on insurance regulation and supervision, consumer rights, micro-insurance and climate based products. Our clients therefore include insurers, re-insurers, insurance brokers, risk advisors, insure tech companies, and public insurance corporations. We also represent other business entities in connection with their subsidiary insurance operations, such as banks, leasing companies and retailers.

Pensions

Our firm is dedicated to offering specialist pensions law advice and support for those involved in running pension schemes. Our lawyers also offer a holistic view of pensions as they have extensive experience in advising on public sector pension schemes, pension disputes relating to the administration of public and private sector pension schemes; pension disputes concerning the interpretation of pension scheme rules, pension issues on disposal or restructure of a business, pension tax issues and pensions insurance.

Pensions Training

We also offer services in support of pensions training for human resources, finance specialists, pension managers and company directors who need to know about the legal framework within which their company’s pension scheme operates. Pensions law and practice is constantly changing so it is essential that trustees, company directors and HR specialists undertake regular training in order to stay up to speed with the latest developments. We offer training to Pensions scheme trustees who are required to have a knowledge and understanding of the law relating to pensions and trust and the principles relating to scheme funding and investment.
