Liability & Insurance

Liability law

Doing business means taking risks. However, risk-taking can lead to liability; it is a very fine line between legitimate trading and liability. BANNING's liability practice group deals with corporate liability, such as business liability insurance, product liability, industrial accidents, environmental pollution and soil contamination. Naturally the practice group also deals with issues of professional liability among independent professionals and functional liability of directors and officers, supervisory directors and supervisors.

Insurance law

It is impossible to engage in national and international trade or generally run a business without proper insurance. BANNING has an extensive insurance practice group with expertise in all areas of insurance, including nonlife insurance, liability insurance for transport and logistics companies, shipping companies (P&I), business liability insurance and other types of business insurance. We advise and litigate in court and in arbitration proceedings on disputes relating to cover and the interpretation of the policy, as well as amending or renewing policy conditions.

Current legislation and regulations governing the supervision of the financial markets have meant considerable changes to insurance law relating to supervision. BANNING has the expertise to advise you on the consequences of these developments for your insurance portfolio, as well as existing and new insurance products.

Our clients include insurers, reinsurers and insurance brokers, as well as national and international companies.
