London has always been a major center of culture and finance.  The London insurance market is the largest and most diverse in the world. Investment banking and securities trading also bring flair and revenue to The City.

Wilson Elser's connections to the London insurance market stretch back more than a quarter century.  From the beginning, we recognized that our clients would enjoy a strategic advantage if the nationwide network of lawyers in our United States offices were accessible to them.

We act as a portal for our London clients to the resources of the rest of the firm.  Our primary focus has always been on insurance coverage and liability defense.  Wilson Elser handles a wide variety of insurance defense and coverage matters, most all of which have a cross-border element.

• We have broad experience drafting and interpreting both standard lines and more unusual financial products written in the London market.
• We defend both professionals and businesses against all kinds of liability claims.
• We frequently advise London Market underwriters in connection with alleged misconduct of entities operating under binding authority agreements.
• We have a specific interest in the diverse issues related to property insurance, including arson.

Our continuing aim is to provide cost-effective and personalized legal services based on a solid understanding of our clients’ businesses.
