We have experience across a range of industries including, amongst others, agriculture, chemicals, education, food, leisure, local authority, pharmaceutical, rail and utilities. We work with our industry sector groups to provide the broadest range of expertise in the market.
We are well versed in the core property, business interruption and standard wordings in the market and give coverage advice on a range of issues. We undertake a range of liability work under public, products and employers liability policies provided by property insurers.
We regularly pursue subrogated recoveries against the owners of neighbouring premises, contractors, architects, surveyors and the manufacturers of defective products. We also often undertake fire spread and latent defect claims.
