We work closely with insurers to help them to effectively manage their reserves.

Where fraud or breach of the insured’s duty of utmost good faith is suspected, we work closely with insurer’s special investigations units to advise on evidence gathering so as to be able to maintain a robust defence to fraudulent claims. In circumstances where policy liability has been repudiated on the basis of fraud we can also assist insurers in achieving finality by issuing proceedings for a declaration confirming that the repudiation was justified. This enables insurers to effectively manage their reserves.

Where a claim has been paid by an insurer and it subsequently learns that the claim was fraudulent we can advise on recovery of the sums paid pursuant to the claim and avoidance of the policy as regards future claims.
