WHAT WE DO / INSURANCE & REINSURANCE / PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE
“Ince & Co provides ‘fast responses’, excellent industry experience and knowledge, and advises clients in financial services, ship brokerage, legal services, surveying, and insurance." Legal 500, 2011
One aspect of the modern ‘compensation culture’, which no business can afford to ignore, is the growth in the exposure of professional advisers to legal claims. This is fuelled by an elevation inthe law’s expectations, over the last decade, of the standards of performance required on the part of those advisers – brokers being an obvious example.
High value and complex professional negligence work has been a feature of Ince & Co’s insurance practice. Today we have diversified into almost every type of professional exposure. The professional negligence group is regularly instructed to advise insureds, insurers and those who assert claims against them. The spread of industries in which they have been involved is considerable, encompassing the legal, accounting, actuarial, insurance broking, ship broking and surveying, engineering, directors and officers and financial institutions fields.
On the non-contentious side, our lawyers regularly advise insurers active in the professional liability market on policy drafting.
