In its effort to provide advice on large and complex claims across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, Zurich Insurance Group has introduced a new legal panel.
Consisting of big names such as Kennedys, Clyde & Co, DAC Beachcroft, DWF Law and BLM, that panel took effect at the turn of the month and aims to ensure greater transparency. According to Zurich, the panel “complements existing country panel arrangements.”
“Engaging the most appropriate law firm and securing the right legal partner is essential on larger and more complex claims, where there’s a need to balance the technical outcome with the economics while delivering on our claims commitment to our customer,” said group chief claims officer Ian Thompson.
“The new panel arrangements will provide Zurich and our customers with a consolidated level of legal insight that we have not had in the past, allowing us to observe trends more closely and to make more informed decisions. It will also provide our international customers with a more joined-up experience on those claims involving multiple countries.”
