BCLP’s Insurance Team represents insurers and other industry participants in transactional, regulatory, advisory, claims and litigation matters. We act as trusted advisors to our insurance clients across the globe, helping them succeed in their insurance initiatives and acquisitions, and navigate through an increasingly complex marketplace and regulatory environment. We advise clients on complex transactional, reinsurance and regulatory matters and, when insurance and reinsurance disputes arise, our litigators are powerful advocates in the courtroom and in reinsurance arbitrations and other tribunals across the globe.

Members of the Insurance Team have been advising insurance industry and capital market clients for over 30 years and we have helped our clients manage the challenges presented by soft and hard insurance markets, new insurance regulatory frameworks, economic crises and emerging technologies. Our approach is to partner with clients to tackle both the challenges and opportunities these environments present.  

Our insurance clients include property-casualty insurers, life & health insurers, workers’ compensation and professional malpractice insurers, reinsurers, captives, surplus lines companies, agencies and brokerages, private equity funds, self-funded alternative risk organizations and other insurance industry participants.

We work collaboratively on cross-border insurance projects and transactions, as well as international insurance issues that affect our clients. The Insurance Team also works closely with other BCLP practice groups such as Employee Benefits and Tax, Finance/Investments, Antitrust, and Investigations, to bring the full expertise of our global platform to bear for our insurance clients as needed. We also have a former Chief Financial Examiner of a state insurance department as part of our Insurance Team.
