We bring together our global footprint, specialist local knowledge and unrivalled advocacy to ensure that we quickly respond to issues wherever they arise, and support our clients on the most complex multijurisdictional matters.

We have advised on many high-profile insurance and reinsurance disputes, as well as advising insurance companies on their insolvency proceedings and restructurings.

Highlight Cases

  • Acting for the Bermuda Monetary Authority in the presentation of a winding up petition against a captive insurer for the Venezuelan oil giant Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. valued at US$3 billion; a significant case in that Venezuela and PDVSA are subject to US sanctions and the captive insurer (PDV Insurance Company Ltd) provided insurance for PDVSA and other state-owned entities.
  • Advising a member in relation to a quasi-partnership dispute involving a captive insurance company incorporated in the Cayman Islands to provide insurance solutions for not-for-profit healthcare systems (each operating several hospitals) in the state of Virginia, USA.
