Insurance law

Insurance law lawyers

Our insurance law specialists are part of a team of lawyers concerned with liability, insurance and damage. Thanks to our strong position on the market, educational background and relatively large capacity, we can act quickly and offer legal services at a high level. The lawyers at Nysingh also specialise in adjacent areas of law such as privacy law, administrative law and business law. This ensures a multidisciplinary and efficient approach.

We work for a large variety of organisations active in or dealing with the insurance industry, ranging from large to mid-size companies as well as multinationals with their own captives, national and international insurers, insurance brokers, loss adjustment agencies, healthcare institutions or governments. Our lawyers are highly familiar with the internal processes and challenges faced by these organisations and tailor their services accordingly.

Insurance products and legal expertise

Professional liability insurance

Professional liability insurance is an important safety net for companies against unexpected costs due to liability for personal injury or property damage. The insurance has a wide scope, but is also limited. We have ample experience regarding a wide variety of matters, ranging from property damage to discussions on cover limitations, such as replacement costs and motor vehicle risk.

Fire insurance (Property)

Organisations often have a large financial interest in insuring buildings and inventory. Events of damage or loss often raise issues of insurance law, which include questions about cover, risk increase or the amount of the compensation. We can provide the necessary knowledge and engage experts from our network where necessary.

Directors and officers’ liability (D&O)

The number of insurance claims based on directors and officers’ liability is increasing, and therefore so is the need for proper D&O insurance. This type of insurance is often rife with various legal complications, such as international aspects, coinsurance and class actions. Our lawyers are well-versed in high-end cases such as these, and act as a monitoring counsel for insurers in sizeable directors and officers’ liability claims.

Professional liability insurance

Insurers offer professional liability insurance to professionals in sectors including the financial, legal or medical sector. We offer legal assistance for a large selection of subjects, such as notices of circumstances, cover provisions and claims series.

Cyber insurance

A cyber insurance provides insurance against the risk of liability, loss or costs due to cyber incidents such as data leaks, hacks or ransomware attacks. Our lawyers can provide legal assistance in this regard, working closely with our privacy law lawyers where necessary.

In addition, we specialise in the following fields:

• Technical insurance (CAR/machine breakdown/BOV)
• Vehicle insurance (WAM/WLM)
• Goods in transit insurance
• Fraud insurance
• Credit Insurance
• Warranty & Indemnity insurance (W&I)
• Event insurance
• Disability and accident insurance
• Life insurance
• Reinsurance

Knowledge of the insurance sector

We not only have access to in-depth knowledge of the law, but also know our way around the insurance sector at both a national and international level. Many insurance matters find their origin within a sector-specific context. We therefore closely follow market developments within the insurance sector and understand what is practically and commercially relevant within the insurance sector. As a full-service law firm, we also offer the insurance sector our expertise in adjacent fields of law such as contract law, procurement law, privacy law and employment law. Our clients appreciate our office being a one-stop shop for all their legal issues.
