Insurance and Reinsurance

Ogier’s Insurance and Reinsurance team has extensive experience advising across the full range of insurance and reinsurance matters, including insurance disputes.

Our insurance and reinsurance lawyers are known for their work on high value, complex and technical insurance transactions, advising on all aspects of the legal and regulatory regimes for insurers and insurance managers. We have particular expertise in cellular structures which are commonly used as insurers and transformer vehicles. 

As market leaders in the insurance linked securities (ILS) sector, we advise in the developing area of convergence, bringing capital and insurance markets together. Our experts in Guernsey also advise on pension longevity transactions, where captive insurance companies provide a cost-effective longevity risk transfer solution for pension trustees.  We have lawyers in the international finance centers noted for their insurance industries, including the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Ireland and Luxembourg, meaning we are well placed to advice on all insurance matters in these jurisdictions, and we can provide a seamless cross-jurisdictional service.
