Insurance & Reinsurance
While still a pupil, Liana was instructed as part of a team of juniors to assist with disclosure on a fire insurance claim worth in excess of c£100m.
Liana gained exposure to a broad spectrum of insurance work as a pupil of Caroline McColgan and Richard Sage including:
- Advising a Claimant who had suffered catastrophic personal injuries worth £3 million on whether the indemnity limit of his insurance was inclusive of his legal costs (which would have eroded his damages by almost £900,000).
- Drafting a defence on behalf of an insurer who had denied claims for COVID-19 business interruption losses.
- Drafting a defence on behalf of an insurance broker in a claim concerning an alleged non-disclosure of a claimant whose yacht had sustained significant damage.
- Advising on the scope of contractual liability and sub-contractor liability extensions contained within a public and product liability insurance policy.
