Insurance
The insurance sector worldwide is evolving
to meet an ever-increasing demand for the efficient provision
of excellent products and services. Over the past few years,
insurance companies have been faced with new risks including
terrorism, an increase in global natural and economic disasters,
sovereign risk, legislative reform efforts, pandemics and cyber
terrorism. Each of these risks continues to enhance the need
for timely and accurate local and international advice from
professionals with the business and legal expertise to help
insurance sector companies address and mitigate these risks.
Today’s insurance market is changing and
vulnerable. Insurers and insureds alike are increasingly being
scrutinized by a variety of local, national and global regulators,
consumers and competitors. Products are attacked; litigation
matters arise and regulators increase their oversight
efforts. Management must quickly address new business
opportunities, expanding geographic markets, insolvencies,
bankruptcies, tender offers, market conduct examinations and
investigations, class action lawsuits and coverage claims, in
addition to enhanced regulatory scrutiny. Consequently,
insurance companies look to retain legal advice from professionals
who can anticipate issues and provide top-notch regulatory and
business solutions to today’s global challenges in a creative and
comprehensive manner and on a cross-border basis if needed.
