How can we help

When a claim has been made against you by someone else, or where you have a claim because you have suffered a loss, the claims process can too often feel intimidating, drawn-out and even confrontational.  Expectations are also naturally high, because our law firm clients understand liability issues. This is why we take a personal and progressive approach.
 
We understand that businesses, large and small, are run by real people feeling real impact, so we work hard to ensure our clients get the best solution quickly and ensure they feel supported at every step, even if that means challenging the status quo and exploring new ways of doing things.

Who we can help

Regional and specialist law firms down to individuals in private practice offshore sector firms.

From launching the market’s first dedicated ESG syndicate to the establishment of our business unit focusing on designing digital insurance solutions, we pride ourselves on always going above and beyond.  Simply put, at  Beazley we go to 11.  

DOING THE RIGHT THING

Acting with integrity in a straightforward, decent way is instinctive. Open and honest with others, we show respect and empathy however challenging the situation – demonstrated by our multi-award winning claims team.  Doing the right thing makes for a fair-minded, rewarding environment and makes work and life better for all.

Examples or Scenarios

A client retained the firm for advice regarding a tax shelter. One of the firm's attorneys advised the client that they were entitled to claim a loss of over $100 million. The client claimed the loss on their tax return and was later audited by the IRS. The client retained the firm to defend it against the audit. The IRS ultimately disallowed the claimed loss and imposed a 40% penalty. The client challenged the IRS determination in court and the same firm was retained to represent the client in the litigation. The court upheld the IRS ruling and affirmed the penalty.
