Financial & Commercial Insurance Disputes
Commercial insurances are a vital component of every business’ risk management strategy. Whether it's protection from litigation, cyber risks, financial crime or management liability, commercial insurances provide important protection against the everyday risks of doing business. When those insurances fail to perform, and when your insurers fail to provide badly needed financial support, businsses can find themselves in a difficult (and often existential) situation.
We are experts in challenging commercial insurers when insurance claims are declined, payments are restricted or policies are avoided. When a commercial insurer unjustifiably fails to perform its obligations under your policy, our specialist solicitors are ready to fight your corner to ensure that valid claims are paid.

- Directors and Officers ("D&O")
