Insurance coverage disputes

At the heart of any quality contentious legal service to insurers is the expertise to deal with coverage issues.

With one of the largest UK and international teams of insurance specialists DAC Beachcroft provides that expertise across a broad range of lines of business including disputes arising out of:

  • compulsory EL/RTA
  • construction
  • contingency cover
  • cyber risk
  • D&O and financial lines claims
  • energy
  • fraud
  • life
  • personal accident/health
  • plant failure/engineering
  • professional indemnity
  • property damage and business interruption
  • public and product liability
  • reinsurance.

We keep closely up to date with changes in practice and the law (summarised in our insurance legal updates) and are proud to be involved with the Law Commission in their ongoing review of UK insurance contract law.

We handle coverage disputes arising from both domestic and international risks. We have local lawyers in the UK, Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific and provide international arbitration services, multi-jurisdictional and cross-border coverage advice including full representation in several international courts.

We have an excellent track record in litigation, defending major names in the insurance industry. We are also expert negotiators. We are well versed in mediation and the whole range of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods since the need is often to promote a swift settlement, contain your costs and, most importantly, maintain your reputation.

We believe our combination of expertise, location and in-depth industry knowledge provides a coverage resolution service that is unmatched.
