Political risk
Contentious and non-contentious advice and expertise for
organisations dealing with socio-political and military upheaval
throughout the globe.
The constantly changing socio-political nature of different
regions of the world, coupled with the rise of globalisation and
the search for new markets, has meant an increasing need for
companies to insure themselves against political risk and
terrorism.
Weightmans’ London Market Team advises large corporate
businesses, ship owners and operators, port authorities, insurers,
intermediaries and reinsurers on the drafting, interpretation and
application of policy coverage before, during and after the
happening of such events.
We are experienced in overseeing and coordinating with the
best insurance and reinsurance lawyers in locations all around the
world.
Our team members have particular expertise in the handling and
resolution of complex insurance and reinsurance disputes. In every
case, we focus on achieving the best possible outcome via the most
efficient means, whether by negotiated settlement, mediation,
arbitration or court proceedings.
We are recommended in the UK Legal 500 directory 2010 edition
for insurance and reinsurance litigation.
