the pre-eminent commercial insurance and reinsurance chambers
Chambers UK 2010
7KBW continues to be regarded as the leading chambers in the field of insurance and reinsurance. 7KBW’s unrivalled excellence and experience in this area is reflected in our having won Insurance Set of the Year Award every year since the award’s inception in 2005.
Chambers and Partners 2011 ranks 7KBW as the only Band 1 insurance set and states that “praise for its standing as the leader in the field is unanimous…”
For the majority of members of Chambers, insurance and
reinsurance forms a substantial part of their practice. We boast a
wealth of expertise in all types of commercial insurance, including
marine, war, political risks, investment risks, professional indemnity,
directors and officers, property, business interruption, bankers'
blanket bond, employers’ and contractors’ all risks insurances.
Our expertise in reinsurance covers all types of facultative and treaty, proportional and excess of loss reinsurance. We act for both (re)insurers and (re)insureds, both in the Lloyd’s and companies’ markets and worldwide. As well as our legal expertise, we pride ourselves on our in-depth understanding of industry specific issues.
7KBW’s pre-eminent position in this field means that members of Chambers have been involved in most of the high-profile insurance and reinsurance market disputes spanning the last decade, including Film Finance, PA LMX spiral and contingency claims arising out of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Particular recent highlights are Wasa -v- Lexington, Buncefield, WD Fairway and Orient Express.
