Droit des biens et responsabilité

Providing global advice to insurers on property and liability claims

Our property & liability team provides a comprehensive global solution covering straightforward property damage cases to highly complex construction and environmental liability cases.

Subrogated recoveries are a key part of the claims cycle for insurers. We often jointly pursue insured and uninsured losses either on a usual basis, or by way of a subrogation agreement whereby the recovery and costs are apportioned by agreement between insurer and insured.

In addition to claims recoveries on existing portfolios, our services include closed file audits to identify recovery opportunities. We can arrange for our team to attend your offices or work remotely to review concluded property claims to see whether subrogation opportunities exist. We can then pursue those recoveries on your behalf and the data extracted can be used to enhance the performance of claims handlers and loss adjusters.

Insurance recovery is a specialised process that involves a combination of legal knowledge, commercial negotiation and litigation skills. Our team is recognised as a leader in this field and has a proven model and determination to achieve optimal results. We maintain a common global approach of robust early assessment of the merits of a case and efficient case management.

We are prepared to share in the risks of pursuing subrogation recoveries and this is reflected in the flexible fee arrangements that we can offer.
