Insurance

We provide clients with both advisory and litigation support, particularly with regard to establishing and auditing insurance programs, enforcing insurance guarantees, and also on regulatory matters and insurance company liability.

Our team acts on behalf of insurers, brokers and insureds, and has broad expertise and experience in insurance law, together with an in-depth understanding of the needs and expectations of the various players in the insurance market.

The clients we advise include insurance companies, insurance brokers and companies in the industrial, construction or services sectors.

Once the client's specific needs have been identified, each case is initially analyzed by a senior lawyer (partner or of counsel) who defines the objectives and resources required to fulfill the client’s request.
