Assistance with Financial Lines/Specialty Lines Underwriting and Claims Handling (D&O, E&O/FIPI, Cyber, Crime, W&I, POSI, etc.)

The profound experience of our specialists, their high-level industry know-how and special niche-expertise are our trademarks in all Speciality Lines/Financial Lines sectors. This is why Austrian, European and other international insurance companies turn to us to handle their monitoring and coverage cases in this key competence area of our firm.

We enjoy a stellar international reputation as a competent partner for forensic investigations and drafting insurance terms.

Especially in complex cases involving directors and officers liability (D&O) and bank liability (Errors and Omissions insurance / Financial Institutions Professional Insurance), our years of experience ensure that claims are processed quickly and discretely, and that a professional defence is implemented. We have already proven our acumen in dealing with structured collaborative defence in major loss cases where it was necessary to coordinate multiple insurers.

The rapidly-growing number of cyber cases has led to an increased need for advice on claims processing and claims defence in cyber insurance. Our technical and legal knowledge of IT, combined with our insurance law skills are of great benefit for the insurance industry.

Mit steigendem Anteil der versicherten Transaktionen steigt auch die Anzahl an strittigen Ansprüchen aus der Warranty & Indemnity The number of contentious claims under Warranty & Indemnity insurance is increasing and becoming a larger share of insurance transactions overall. We are involved in the out-of-court settlement of claims just as often as with the defence (mainly as part of arbitration proceedings) against coverage claims under W&I policies. Our insurance and corporate law skills combine to provide an ideal tool for the insurance industry.

We successfully apply our experience in managing mass investor cases and our deep understanding of banking law when monitoring and putting together a defence against claims across the spectrum of cases under prospectus liability insurance (Public Offering of Securities Insurance \[POSI], Initial Public Offering \[IPO] or Secondary Public Offering \[SPO] insurance).
