Insurance and Reinsurance

The PLC Cross-border Insurance and Reinsurance Handbook is a multi-jurisdictional guide including country-specific Q&As on insurance and reinsurance law and practice, practical information on topical cross-border issues, and details of recommended insurance and reinsurance lawyers and law firms in jurisdictions around the world.

In each country-specific Q&A, a standard set of questions relating to insurance and reinsurance law and practice is answered by a leading law firm recommended for its expertise in that jurisdiction following independent research carried out by PLC Which lawyer?.

The Q&A guide aims to give a structured overview of the key practical issues including, for example, the main market trends and regulatory framework, the operating restrictions on providers of insurance and reinsurance services, the extent to which a reinsurance company can monitor a cedant company, the main form and content requirements of an insurance policy, issues on insolvency, tax, dispute resolution, and reform.

In addition, answers to questions can be compared across a number of jurisdictions to assist in the management of cross-border transactions (see Country Q&A tool).
