Our experienced lawyers cover all aspects of professional liability and securities issues, including numerous significant trials, appeals, and arbitrations, as well as a comprehensive range of governmental and administrative proceedings. We possess extensive knowledge of the substantive areas of law affecting financial institutions, including disclosure and compliance laws, and we analyse insurance coverage issues to secure payments for liability and costs through negotiation or litigation.

Our Expertise in Professional Liability

• Comprehensive Coverage Analysis: We analyse existing and future liabilities and conduct comprehensive assessments of coverage. When insurers fail to recognise obligations, the Lewis & May team assists clients with strategy and settlements to preserve rights and maximise the value of insurance assets.
• International Arbitration Expertise: Arbitration is a key feature of our services. Our lawyers have expertise in arbitrations governed by the English Arbitration Act, the UN Model Law, the Bermuda International Conciliation and Arbitration Act, and many others.
• Specialised Market Knowledge: Our lawyers have particular expertise in handling arbitrations arising under policies issued by the Bermuda insurance market, especially under professional liability and general liability policies written on the Bermuda Form.
