Property Risks & Coverage
Whatever the risk, we’ve got it covered…
No matter how well built property may be, it is always susceptible to damage.
Whether commercial or residential/private or public, damage to buildings (or possessions) frequently leads to both physical and financial losses. Damage may arise from any number of causes, of which the most common are:
- Fire and explosion
- Flood and escape of water
- Ground movement (subsidence/heave/landslip)
- Structural defect/building collapse
- Construction and engineering failure
- Defective products
- Environmental contamination
- Impact damage
- Theft
Our specialists are experienced in handling all aspects of a claim across key industries including:
- Insurance and reinsurance
- Construction and engineering
- Retail and manufacturing
- Utilities
- Property owners
We have built a team with real in-depth knowledge and expertise that spans UK and overseas jurisdictions. We conduct complex multi-party litigation, handle third party liability claims and provide completely outsourced subrogation recovery services for our clients.
Acting for both defendants and claimants over many years has given us a unique insight into the strategies and tactics employed on either side of a claim. This means that we can invariably forecast what opponents may attempt and react accordingly, resulting in reduced timescales and settlement costs for our clients.
Our skill in recognising and adapting to the differing needs of insurers and policyholders and our public authority and commercial clients, ensures that we provide the best possible service and appropriately tailored advice. The outcome is that our clients benefit from better, more cost-effective and clearly focussed legal services.
Policy coverage expertise is integral to our service. As well as providing bespoke advice we consider coverage in all claims to ensure that insurers’ liabilities are limited to the cover for which they provide indemnity, to detect any fraudulent claims and to identify any breaches of the duty of fair presentation; so we always protect our clients’ exposure.
The team provides a comprehensive service in relation to property claims to composite insurers, Lloyd’s and the London Market, commercial entities, public authorities and insureds alike. Again this means that we are well placed to provide an holistic view and our clients benefit from our detailed understanding of the market.
