This practice area’s team is characterised by its in-depth knowledge of the sector. This exclusive specialisation is based on years of work spent shoulder to shoulder with companies that have granted us a thorough understanding of the solutions required by the insurance sector. The team further benefits from partner Joaquín Ruiz Echauri’s know-how and his decades of experience as a specialist in insurance and reinsurance.
The specific expertise of this practice area, alongside the Firm’s exceptional abilities in fields required for the insurance industry, such as Tax, Employment, Data Protection/Privacy, Governance, AML, Infrastructure, Competition and many more, mean that our team is a solid and comprehensive multidisciplinary solution for companies.
Our Insurance and Reinsurance team provides advice in three fields that are critical for the sector:
- Corporate and M&A: we have a thorough understanding of the specifics of any kind of traditional transaction, as well as traditional deals, portfolio transfers, VIF reinsurance agreements, banking-insurance and other complex distribution agreements, cross-border mergers and insurance group reorganisations.
- Regulatory: the team boasts ample experience both in the operation and governance of companies and mediators, as well as in their relationships with the Administration, authorisations and all types of proceedings. Our advice includes representation before inspections, drawing up and configuring new insurance products and solutions, insurtech, and creation of industry-optimal insurance distribution channels.
- Insurance litigation: we advise on everything related to total or partial refusal of cover, such as the handling of complex or mass claims, complex discussions regarding the scope and delimitation of cover, E&O, P&C, PL, etc. and reinsurance conflicts and all of the implications of any other sector-specific claims. This advice requires consolidated experience which is always focused on finding the best solutions and compromises by trying to avoid unnecessary litigation.
