Insurance

Expertise

We act on behalf of State entities, financial institutions, banks, insurance companies and some of the leading self-insured and privately insured commercial operators in Ireland.

Our service includes defending claims brought for product liability, personal injuries and property damage, covering employer’s liability and public liability. We advise on complex coverage and indemnity disputes, including coverage disputes in respect of group claims.

We are experienced advisers on complex issues concerning high profile and highly sensitive claims. We focus on achieving early and cost-effective resolutions, where possible. We have obtained favourable High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court decisions for our clients on issues including vicarious liability, trial costs, Statute of Limitations, discovery, and the dismissal of claims based on delay. We are experienced in managing group litigation involving many individual claimants with shared factual claims.

Our clients choose us to defend their most sensitive, complex, and high value claims, many of which we resolve through alternative dispute resolution. We have represented the HSE, the Department of Health and clinical and multidisciplinary staff in the public sector for over 20 years through the State Claims Agency’s Clinical Indemnity Scheme and for over 60 years on behalf of medical indemnifiers.

Our team includes highly experienced and respected mediators who are committed to exploring alternative dispute resolution mechanisms as an alternative to litigation. We are pragmatic and effective negotiators and proactive, cost-conscious case managers.
