This area covers pursuing or resisting compensation under insurance contracts in England. It includes interpreting policy terms, exclusions and limits, and resolving disputes over coverage, indemnity and settlement amounts. A solicitor helps draft and negotiate claims, gather evidence (policies, loss reports, expert reports), liaise with insurers and insured parties, advise on regulatory obligations, and, where needed, prepare litigation or arbitration to obtain or defend a payment under a policy.
