  • Representing ceding companies, reinsurers, and retrocessionaires in matters involving both treaty and facultative reinsurance.
  • Successfully resolving reinsurance matters involving virtually all classes of business, including property, casualty, marine, health and life.
  • Litigating and arbitrating matters involving reinsurance intermediaries, including their capacity as agents and their susceptibility to various discovery devices.
  • Involvement in major insurance company insolvencies, including Mission, Transit Casualty, Integrity, Mutual Benefit, Protective National, and Mentor, among others.

Budd Larner has established an extensive network of consultants, expert witnesses, and arbitrators. We also have working relationships with law firms, consultants, and business firms in London. The firm has extensive experience with insurance and reinsurance problems involving the London Market.
