Our expert work spans the spectrum of insurance. We are involved in high-value and complex claims through to volume work, across casualty, property, motor, professional and financial lines, including specialty lines.
We regularly advise insurers on policy interpretation, policy mediation, and arbitration disputes. Our team handles disputes coming before the courts at all levels, from the District Court to the Supreme Court. We also advise on subrogation claims and act as monitoring/coverage counsel for insurers.
At Holmes, we appreciate that the insurance business is all about people and we are sensitive to protecting the productive relationships between clients and third parties as well as appreciating the significance of clients’ relationships with policyholders.
We understand the importance of data as an asset, and how significant-high-quality information and data analytics are in many facets of the insurance market from risk assessment in underwriting, to customer segmentation, and detecting fraud.
