Insurance

The Insurance Practice Group handles a wide variety of insurance and reinsurance matters. These include liability claims, coverage disputes, and regulatory and transactional advice.

The team regularly represents local and foreign insurers, underwriters, indemnity providers, brokers, corporations, financial institutions and individual policyholders. Many of these matters involve the management of high-value, complex claims with cross-border elements. These include professional liability, personal injury, construction defects, directors & officers (D&O) and property damage claims. We also work closely with our clients to achieve a favourable resolution of these claims, whether through negotiation, mediation or court or arbitration proceedings.

Through the DNA Network, the Insurance Practice Group is able to provide first class support to clients with regional operations. We are able to tap on the expertise of specialists from offices in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia to provide seamless and integrated advice on cross-border disputes and transactions.
