InsurTech

As your advisers, we can help you plan and implement the integration of new technologies, whether for internal business purposes, or for use by your insureds. We understand the needs of every type of participant in this rapidly evolving area, due to our extensive insurance sector expertise and our depth of experience in advising technology vendors.

Overview

Our specialist insurance technology (InsurTech) offering is tailored for insurance companies, and the technology suppliers they rely upon. Because we understand both the insurance market as well as the practical details of new technologies, we can help you achieve your goals confidently, and securely.

We advise all the major insurers and reinsurers and routinely work with brokers and funders. This gives us an unparalleled position in the market to advise any insurance firm on their internal IT systems and use of personal data, as well as on their customer-facing apps and platforms. We know what this means for insurance companies in real terms, as many of our 50-strong team of technology lawyers have worked on business critical IT projects for insurance companies, such as the international transfer of highly sensitive personal data.

Our recent InsurTech experience includes matters involving innovative solutions focusing on claims handling, enhanced customer experience, analytics systems, underwriting, product development comparison sites, and more.

This depth of expertise provides a competitive advantage for you through our nuanced understanding of the sector, and the challenges facing it. Our specialists can help you achieve your goals quickly and effectively, while minimising risks.

As we work for national and international organisations, we can apply our understanding of global business and cross-border activity so that you are getting the best advice wherever you are.
