Coverage

Insurance coverage disputes demand clarity, precision, and speed. ILG member firms offer strategic advice and strong defence across all major classes of insurance, combining international perspective with deep local understanding. Whether advising on coverage position, managing complex litigation, or responding to bad faith allegations, we help insurers navigate challenging claims with confidence.

Our collective experience spans the full range of coverage-related matters across global insurance markets. We assist clients at every stage of the policy lifecycle—from wording and interpretation to dispute resolution and appeals—bringing commercial awareness and tactical insight to each engagement.

Our coverage work commonly includes:

• First-party property and business interruption

• Third-party liability and indemnity disputes

• Bad faith and extra-contractual claims

• D&O, E&O and professional indemnity

• Cyber and data breach-related coverage

• Construction, environmental and energy risks

• Reinsurance, subrogation and allocation issues

• Life, health and workers’ compensation

ILG members act for insurers, reinsurers, captives, and brokers, as well as large corporates and self-insureds operating across borders and industries. Our clients rely on us not only for strong legal defence, but for proactive risk guidance and efficient resolution strategies—particularly in claims involving regulatory scrutiny, reputational exposure, or international coordination.

Our teams are experienced in managing high-stakes coverage litigation across multiple jurisdictions, including institutional discovery, complex document production, corporate depositions, and trial. By combining local responsiveness with global consistency, we provide a streamlined approach to resolving even the most technical or sensitive disputes.

ILG members are actively engaged in insurance-focused organisations that inform our work on coverage issues. These include the International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC) and its Insurance and Reinsurance Committee, the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel (FDCC), and the ABA Section of Litigation – Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee. Our involvement in these forums ensures our counsel remain connected to the latest developments in coverage law, litigation strategy, and regulatory trends affecting global insurers.
