Risk Management & Insurance
Our team of Risk Management & Insurance Lawyers have extensive experience delivering outstanding results for some of the most sophisticated and demanding of clients – major national and international insurance agencies and underwriters. We’ve also helped countless individuals and business leaders manage their risks (both insurable and otherwise) and deal with queries and disputes arising as to policy coverage.
Our team acts for insureds and insurers under virtually all types of insurance policies (under our key services). We also act for self-insured entities in various areas.
We bring our legal and insurance industry knowledge, connections and expertise to the management of below-deductible claims, self-insured claims and third-party recoveries to reduce overall claim costs and deliver commercial results.
We advise clients and liaise with brokers and underwriters in relation to hard to place/specially underwritten risks, and assist with tender documents for clients with complex or extensive insurance arrangements, as well as commenting on policy wordings proffered by underwriters.
We stay abreast of developments in the area of insurance law as Debra Lane, one of our directors, is the SA Editor of the Insurance Law Bulletin – a monthly Lexis Nexis Publication.
