Indemnity and policy
We have extensive experience in advising insurers on issues relating to indemnity and policy. Our experienced litigators act on your behalf in contentious and non-contentious indemnity and policy matters. This involves a detailed review of your policy, the circumstances of the claim and whether the policyholder complied with the policy conditions.
Our insurance dispute solicitors are able to offer guidance in situations where you are asked to deal with a claim that is not covered under the policy. Equally, we have represented many clients faced with circumstances where the policyholder has breached a condition of the policy or failed to disclose pertinent information.

Acting for a variety of clients, we have a reputation for being robust but fair, seeking compromise where appropriate or progressing legal proceedings.
We are experienced in handling a wide variety of recovery claims – from high value damages paid due to fire or floods, to damages to the property caused by motor accidents.
