Credible Difference
We are legal experts in insurance in Africa, providing comprehensive advice to a diverse range of policy holders, insurers, reinsurers and underwriters.
African footprint
Insurance and reinsurance in and into Africa operates across multi-jurisdictional, divergent regulatory regimes and evolving risks. For insurers, reinsurers and insured businesses alike, navigating this landscape from managing risk exposure to complying with vastly different laws and regulatory networks can be both complex and challenging. At the same time, there is a need and a demand for increased insurance capacity, cover for specialised risks and insurance law expertise. Our Pan-Africa insurance practice group operates across the continent from our various offices in Eastern, Southern and Western Africa, and have formed long-standing partnerships with trusted firms with which we work.
Proven track record
Our practitioners have many years of practical experience on the ground working throughout the continent. We bring together insurance law expertise, commercial insight and on-the-ground experience to support policyholders, insurers, reinsurers and underwriters across the full insurance lifecycle, allowing us to deliver precise, practical and commercially grounded solutions no matter where in Africa you do business.
Deep Expertise
Our Pan-Africa insurance practice group has a sound understanding of risk exposure, regulations and regulatory trends, local commercial and geopolitical dynamics. We advise on claims disputes, coverage issues and policy wordings across all lines of insurance business (inclusive of those under multi-jurisdictional group insurance programmes), and have deep specialisation and experience in transactional, regulatory and due diligence matters. In addition to insurance concerns and issues, we cover Tax, Corporate Commercial, Banking and Finance, Employment, Forensics, Dispute Resolution, Shipping and Logistics, ensuring we are able to address the full spectrum of interconnected legal challenges that our clients face.
