Financial Lines

The Firm provides assistance in financial lines and D&O disputes on behalf of insurers and reinsurers.

Our practice covers directors & officers liability, financial institutions, and management and employment practices liability, for Italian and international insurers and reinsurers. We also advise on policy coverage, risk assessment, dispute resolution and monitor underlying claims.

Our Professionals have great litigation experience over many years of court disputes with highly satisfactory results, close cooperation with insurers experts and commercial approach in settlement of meritorious claims to minimize legal fees where a court litigation appears no longer necessary.

On the non-contentious side, our lawyers work with clients on policy drafting and advise international clients looking to access the London insurance market.

Our Professionals are also well known speakers at D&O and Financial Institution conferences, and contribute to publications.

We have recently advised:

• Lloyd’s Syndicates in relation to several complex D&O and PI cases;
• Foreign insurers on a multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution including coverage litigation in relation to global re/insurance programmes, including D&Os of listed international groups;
• European reinsurers in respect of a complex regulatory investigation of an Italian Telco;
• on D&O coverage issues arising out of the current high profile banking “scandals”.
