Reinsurance
Fields Howell represents leading reinsurers in arbitration, litigation, and advisory matters across the United States. With a strong focus on London and Bermuda markets, our attorneys provide strategic counsel on complex reinsurance disputes while helping preserve the critical relationship between cedant and reinsurer.
Trusted Counsel in a Relationship-Driven Market
Reinsurance is a uniquely collaborative yet high-stakes field, requiring not only legal precision but a nuanced understanding of business relationships and market expectations. At Fields Howell, we routinely represent London and Bermuda-based reinsurers in arbitration proceedings throughout the U.S., addressing issues such as follow-the-fortunes, aggregation, captive structures, commutation agreements, and allegations of reinsurer bad faith.
Our attorneys also assist with audits of domestic insurers, carefully evaluating underwriting and claims practices while maintaining the delicate balance necessary to preserve trust and cooperation between parties. These audits often lead to proactive strategies for resolving problematic claims or addressing patterns that could impact long-term risk. We work closely with cedants to ensure that outcomes are mutually beneficial, aligning legal strategy with sound business judgment.
Our approach emphasizes clarity, collaboration, and discretion. Whether advising on contract interpretation, defending reinsurers in dispute resolution forums, or supporting underwriting and claims operations, we strive to add value to every stage of the reinsurance relationship. Fields Howell is known not only for its litigation strength but also for fostering continuity, stability, and transparency in one of the industry’s most relationship-driven sectors.
