Regulated Transactions & Arrangements

Regulated Transactions & Arrangements

Insurance transactions call for thorough and detailed knowledge of both domestic and international regulation. Understanding the insurance business and a close dialogue with the relevant authorities are integral to the successful completion of transactions, insurance portfolio transfers and changes in ownership.

We have a proven track record of handling both domestic and cross-border insurance transactions and insurance portfolio transfers. With the experience and expertise we offer, you can identify regulatory risks early on in the process and plan the procedure to ensure that your arrangement can be completed smoothly and efficiently. Our understanding of the insurance business and our broad practical knowledge of the insurance sector will serve your goals also in due diligence reviews, e.g. when insurance is used as a tool for risk management purposes.

Our services include:

  • Transactions, mergers and acquisition of shares of ownership
  • Permitting and supervisory matters, such as ownership control, in connection with transactions
  • Transfers of insurance portfolios
  • Supporting and coordinating the project teams of target companies, procurers and their owners

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.
