Appleby Marks 13 Years Leading ILS Convergence and the Bermuda ILS Market
Appleby Bermuda is proud to celebrate its 13th consecutive year supporting ILS Convergence, the premier global event for the insurance-linked securities (ILS) sector. For twelve of those years Appleby proudly served as a Gold sponsor, and this year the firm is honoured to participate as a Diamond sponsor, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to this cornerstone gathering. The conference draws hundreds of international delegates and Bermuda’s leading insurance experts, making it one of the most significant annual forums for the global risk-transfer community. Attendees will once again enjoy the Appleby Coffee Bar, a familiar and much-anticipated feature of the event.
Held at the Hamilton Princess 13 – 15 October, Convergence brings together influential voices in alternative reinsurance, convergence, and ILS for networking and education sessions. As the world’s foremost ILS domicile, Bermuda continues to lead the way in pioneering alternative risk-financing solutions.
Appleby’s top-tier Insurance & Reinsurance practice drives innovation in risk-transfer structures, particularly ILS and collateralised reinsurance. Our lawyers advise on the most ILS and catastrophe-bond transactions in Bermuda, expertly guiding clients through catastrophe bonds, special-purpose insurers, sidecars, life-insurance securitisations, and other fully collateralised structures. Members of our market-leading insurance team will be in attendance, including Partners Brad Adderley and Max Tetlow, Counsel Cathryn Minors, and Senior Associates Aleisha Hollis, Melinda Mayne and Ojeda Smith.
Brad Adderley, Bermuda Managing Partner who is a founding member of the ILS Bermuda Steering Committee, the group that brought the Convergence conference to life 13 years ago, said: “The continued growth of the ILS sector underscores its importance to Bermuda’s economy and the global risk-financing landscape. Appleby is proud to be the lead trusted legal adviser for ILS and cat-bond deals in Bermuda, thanks to a strong and dedicated team. Convergence’s unique and engaging format continues to spark forward-thinking solutions, and we look forward to the influential ideas and innovation this year’s gathering will inspire.”
