"Fountain Court is an outstanding insurance set."
The Legal 500
Insurance is a core area for Fountain Court.
Our expertise ranges from disputes arising out of catastrophic events or supply chain breakdowns, to claims resulting from alleged negligence or product defects. We act for insurers and policyholders and are regularly instructed by brokers and managing general agents. Our work includes both litigation and arbitration.
We regularly act on coverage disputes, including regarding termination and construction of policies, across all lines. We also advise on disputes regarding third party liabilities and in the pursuit of subrogated recoveries. Members also have experience in disputes between insurers including regarding reinsurance and contractual arrangements, including binders.
We work across lines including business interruption, directors’ and officers’ liability, general liability, property damage (including catastrophic claims), professional indemnity, construction and specialty lines including aviation, marine and energy, cyber, political risk, trade credit and fine art. We also have extensive experience of disputes surrounding Bermuda Form wordings.
In recent times, our members’ expertise has been called upon in relation to claims resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including in the most significant insurance case in recent history, the FCA Test Case on the validity of business interruption claims, both in the High Court and the leapfrog appeal to the Supreme Court.
The cases on which we are instructed are often international in nature and have involved the likes of Africa, North America, Ireland, Australia, Latin America and Russia.
In addition, our members have written many of the leading textbooks in the insurance field.
