Notre équipe, chef de file sur le marché, est spécialisée dans les services juridiques depuis 40 ans. L’équipe agit pour le compte de cabinets d’avocats locaux, nationaux et internationaux, et défend des plaintes, peu importe la taille et le type.

Notre équipe est parfaitement consciente de la réputation commerciale et des questions réglementaires auxquelles les professionnels du droit font face. Nous sommes depuis longtemps reconnus pour avoir prodigué aux compagnies d’assurance et à leurs assurés des conseils internationaux et ciblés en matière de gestion des risques, et nous avons traité certaines des plus grandes réclamations dans ce domaine au cours des quatre dernières décennies.

Nous possédons de l’expérience dans la gestion de réclamations très médiatisées et sensibles ayant trait à la réputation. Dès le départ, nous travaillons en étroite collaboration avec les équipes spécialisées en risques et en gestion, ainsi qu’avec les spécialistes de la communication, afin de préserver la confidentialité et de minimiser les retombées attribuables aux litiges.

Notre expérience est de portée mondiale et nous assistons les entreprises et leurs compagnies d’assurance dans leurs activités et leurs problématiques transfrontalières. Nous avons travaillé dans de nombreux territoires, y compris ceux où nous ne sommes pas établis, et nous avons la réputation d’obtenir des résultats positifs pour nos clients.

La taille de notre cabinet implique que nous sommes également en mesure de fournir une aide en matière de réclamations, à l’échelle locale et internationale.
