InsurTech

Our global InsurTech lawyers provide clients with transactional advice, as well as counsel on the legal and regulatory challenges and risks related to the deployment of technology in insurance-related transactions and processes.

InsurTech encompasses the rapidly evolving use of technology in insurance-related transactions and processes.  These developments are having a transformative effect on both the retail and commercial sectors of the insurance industry.  As insurance is a regulated industry, ensuring compliance with law and regulation is especially relevant in this ever-changing market.

Our recent experience includes advising some of the world’s leading insurance companies as well as InsurTech start-ups on the legal and regulatory issues relating to potential use cases and the deployment of InsurTech. We also advise insurance consortia on their formation and governance as well as their deployment of technology.
