We offer independent and conflict free advice from an experienced team of specialist practitioners who know how to present claims and get them paid across a broad range of product lines and sectors.
We know insurers
Wynterhill is comprised of lawyers who know the insurance market very well. Some of our lawyers worked for insurance companies for many years. We have deep insight into what insurers need before they can agree a payment: whether an insurer is being genuine and fair in their coverage correspondence and requests for information; and, what further documentation would be of assistance to an insurer in order to persuade them to pay a claim.
We know brokers
We know and work with many of the insurance brokers in our core practice areas, using the best of both their insights and ours.
We understand every stage of the process.
We can assist from first notification of a loss and an initial coverage investigation or reservation of rights, through to the response to a claim declinature or policy avoidance.
We know when to fight
We know how to navigate through the options of litigation, arbitration and other forms of dispute resolution such as expert determination or mediation. We are forceful yet pragmatic in pursuing our clients' objectives.
We understand policy wordings
We have advised a wide range of clients on their policy wordings and have drafted bespoke policy terms and endorsements. We are able to advise on potential policy enhancements and to stress test wordings to a particular scenario required by a commercial client.
We are conflict free
We only act for policyholders which means we never have any conflicts in acting against the insurance market.
