Claims & Dispute Resolution

To achieve the best possible outcome, expert legal advice is required in claims disputes and in interpreting insurance terms and conditions.

As our client, you will benefit from our extensive knowledge in all kinds of insurance disputes as our experts work seamlessly together across teams. Typical disputes concern regulation interpretation, insurance claims and run-off portfolios. They may also arise out of cooperation agreements as well as agreements regarding marketing, agents, brokers or outsourcing. We will advise you in litigation and arbitration proceedings as well as in board proceedings before the Insurance Complaints Board and the Consumer Disputes Board, among others.

Our services include:

  • Expert opinions on the interpretation of the terms and conditions of insurance policies (non-life, life, pension and reinsurance) both before and after the occurrence of an insured event
  • Reviewing, settling and commenting on claims concerning insurances (non-life, life, pension and reinsurance) as well as drafting written pleadings in board proceedings

We successfully represented a panel of reinsurance companies in an international ad hoc arbitration. The dispute arose out of a reinsurance treaty under the terms of which the reinsurers had reinsured a portfolio of risks underwritten by the cedent. The parties disagreed as to whether the reinsurance provided coverage for a certain loss that had occurred because of the market turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The case involved highly complex legal and contractual questions requiring special expertise on reinsurance law and practice. The arbitral tribunal rejected the counterparty’s claims for reinsurance compensation against our clients in full. The amount in dispute was approximately EUR 34 million.
