Overview
Our dedicated mediation team advice and litigation assistance to insurance brokers, wholesale brokers, general agents and agents in the areas of life and non-life insurance. We also assist intermediaries to ensure they satisfy the ORIAS requirements for registration. In addition to our robust advisory and litigation services, we go the extra mile to ensure that intermediaries meet the stringent ORIAS registration requirements, facilitating their compliance with industry standards and regulations.
It is also worth highlighting our firm's noteworthy expertise in this field.

Similarly, another partner contributes to the academic community as a lecturer specializing in European mediation law at the renowned Law Faculty of Paris University.
