Policy Wording

Getting a (re)insurance policy wording right is always a prudent investment. Our policy wording team has been helping clients get it right for over 25 years. As well as being market leaders in this area, we are proud to have established and run all the Lloyd’s Market Association Academy contract wordings courses since 2017. Hundreds of our alumni are working on wordings in the London market today.

We undertake the full range of policy wording projects, from endorsement reviews to writing contracts from scratch. We also advise on ancillary documents such as underwriting guidelines, proposal forms, IPIDs, claims handling guidelines and more. The team has long experience of drafting market model wordings and advising on market issues and legal or regulatory changes. London market standard forms like the Market Reform Contract are among our favourite subjects. 

Our expertise encompasses most lines of business, from motor to reinsurance. We also draft and advise on binding authority agreements, service company agreements, lineslips, consortia agreements, TPA arrangements, outsourcing agreements, TOBAs and NDAs.

We regularly deal with international business and are used to working collaboratively with local counsel to ensure wordings remain effective in the territories where they are being used.

Wording projects take all forms. Whatever you have in mind, talk to us about how we can help.
