INSURE. REINSURE. REALLY SURE. INVESTING IN THE INSURANCE SECTOR The insurance sector can be opaque and impenetrable. Detailed knowledge of the sector certainly isn’t required for most people in their day-to-day lives but it is needed for those considering investing in it. The complexity of the sector, its regulatory environment and its jargon can be off-putting to potential investors. OUR INSURANCE EXPERTISE Edwards Wildman has first rate experience in, and knowledge of, the business of insurance. We have over 75 lawyers focused on the insurance sector, giving clients valuable advice and guidance from offices in the UK, the US and Hong Kong. We understand insurance, its laws and regulations (including those in the Lloyd’s market), and we speak the language of the industry. VA LUE ADDED Our ability to add value doesn’t end there. Our insurance lawyers frequently work closely with specialists in other areas at Edwards Wildman, which enables us to give clients a service tailored to their needs and own levels of sector focus. OUR EXPERIENCE We advise a wide range of market participants globally: investors (PE, individual, corporate or otherwise), risk carriers in each of the company and Lloyd’s markets, intermediaries, banks and even regulators.
