What we do

From our experience of working with insurers in this area we understand that:

• Early focussed advice often assists with forming successful resolution strategies
• Changing attitudes towards the subject matter of the dispute is usually key to achieving an early resolution
• Appealing to the commercial realities of the situation is likely to be more effective than the provision of academic legal advice
• More involved and complex matters demand the co-operation of a team of individuals representing all parties – insureds, insurers and their lawyers
• The sheer volume of electronic and hardcopy documents can undermine effective in-house case management
• Lawyers who speak and understand the insured's technical language are vital to achieving a cost-effective and quick outcome
