Insurance
Appleby’s Insurance team specialises in advising on the establishment, regulatory compliance and business operations of insurance and reinsurance companies, as well as insurance managers and brokers based in offshore jurisdictions. We have lawyers based in jurisdictions that are significant players in the global insurance market, including Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Mauritius and the Seychelles. We are therefore well placed to advise client companies seeking to carry out business in any of our offshore jurisdictions or transact business with locally based insurers.
Our insurance and reinsurance litigation practice is one of the most established in the offshore world.
