Responding to the industry's issues
Major legislative developments can cause insurers big problems if they’re not on the ball. So it’s vital to get advice from professionals who have a thorough understanding of legislative changes and their potential impact.
Luckily, DWF’s Insurance teams have a keen eye on such changes, and can help you navigate the territories they open up. For example, the DWF International Claims Team was formed as a response to a direct need from insurers for clear and comprehensive legal advice in the enormously complex area of international claims. The Rome II legislation, for example, has overturned many previous laws. The Fifth Motor Insurance Directive also has important ramifications, yet is widely misunderstood by many.
Our International Claims Team covers a wide range of legal services including personal injury, product liability, travel claims, regulatory issues, health and safety disputes and coverage issues and has unrivalled specialist experience advising on cross-border claims. We also provide pragmatic, practical advice that minimises insurers’ exposure.
