Defending liability claims with precision - across borders, industries, and jurisdictions
ILG members provide extensive expertise in public and commercial general liability, delivering coordinated defence and strategic advice across the world’s primary insurance markets. Our clients include international and domestic insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd’s syndicates, self-insureds, and corporates in sectors where liability risk is constant and evolving. With a footprint across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific, we offer local insight supported by international reach - helping clients manage exposure in an increasingly complex landscape.
Our work spans the full breadth of general liability claims. This includes bodily injury, property damage, premises liability, defective products, workplace accidents, environmental exposure, and large-loss incidents. We defend claims of negligence, advise on coverage disputes under general liability policies, and support insurers with proactive risk management strategies designed to limit future exposure. We also act in claims arising from emerging risks such as digital infrastructure failures, AI-related liability, and systemic class actions.
The clients we represent are diverse—ranging from manufacturers, contractors, and logistics operators to healthcare providers, retailers, energy companies, public bodies, and hospitality operators. Many entrust us not only with defence litigation, but also with advice on risk allocation in contracts, indemnities, and insurance program design. Our teams also advise on human rights-related liability, privacy claims, and reputational risks that increasingly intersect with general liability exposures.
ILG members have defended some of the most significant liability cases in their respective jurisdictions, including catastrophic personal injury claims, large-scale property loss, construction liability, and cross-border product claims. Our lawyers have appeared before trial and appellate courts, arbitration panels, and regulatory bodies worldwide, delivering efficient and practical outcomes for insurers and policyholders alike. Where claims span multiple jurisdictions, our global coordination ensures a consistent defence strategy while respecting local law and procedure.
To remain aligned with evolving liability trends, ILG members are active in industry organisations that shape best practice in liability defence and insurance law. Our lawyers contribute to international associations of defence counsel, insurance and risk management bodies, and liability-focused working groups. Many are recognised in leading directories such as Chambers and Partners, The Legal 500, Lexpert, Best Lawyers, and Super Lawyers for their expertise in liability defence. This recognition reflects both the quality of our work and our commitment to helping clients navigate today’s and tomorrow’s liability challenges.
