The relevance of coverage, the clarity of policy terms, and the ability to activate insurance in the event of a loss are key determinants of an organization’s resilience. We advise all stakeholders in the insurance market. Working alongside brokers, we assist policyholders in analyzing their risks and renewing their policies. We support insurers and brokers in drafting policy wording and special conditions. In the event of a claim, we assist policyholders in their discussions with insurers and help insurers manage notifications and assess coverage. 0 0 We represent clients at every stage of a dispute, including court-appointed expert proceedings and litigation on the merits, and defend their interests in both amicable and contentious phases, before professional bodies such as France Assureurs and ARIAS France or in arbitration. As members of AMRAE, we are at the forefront of emerging risk analysis and market developments. ## *our*Intentions 0 0 ### (01) Policyholder Advisory We assist companies in identifying their risk exposures and structuring their insurance programs. Our work includes assessing coverage needs, participating in tender processes, negotiating underwriting terms alongside brokers, and validating contractual clauses for a wide range of policies, including general liability, professional liability, product liability, environmental liability, property damage, local policies, master programs, and captives. We also advise on risk retention and transfer strategies. In the event of a loss, we support policyholders in their discussions with insurers to secure optimal coverage under their policies. ### (02) Insurer and Broker Advisory We advise insurers and brokers in drafting and reviewing insurance policies, including general and special conditions. Our work covers risk assessment, defining coverage and exclusions, drafting clauses tailored to sector-specific requirements, and ensuring regulatory compliance. The objective is to guarantee clarity of commitments, strengthen the legal security of policies, and maintain the right balance between protecting policyholders and managing insurers’ risk exposure. ### (03) Claims Management And Insurance Litigation When a loss occurs, we assist policyholders in assessing the nature of the claim, managing notifications, and triggering applicable coverage. For insurers, we review policy terms, evaluate coverage in light of exclusions and limits, and manage reservations of rights. In the event of a dispute, we represent our clients at every stage of the process, from court-appointed expert proceedings to litigation on the merits, before courts or specialized professional bodies such as France Assureurs and ARIAS France.
