Public Liability

Our insurance barristers offer in-depth knowledge of the varied issues arising from third-party liability policies.

We advise regularly in relation to such policies, across the range of activities in which they are encountered, whether this be construction and engineering, supply or manufacture of equipment goods or services, defective premises (private or public), highways, collisions on road or at sea, cargo contamination, etc.

Our specialist expertise encompasses policy interpretation and coverage issues particularly relevant to public liability cover, including the accrual of liability to indemnify, the incidence of global settlements, aggregation and clauses and policy limits, notification clauses, conduct of proceedings clauses, conflicts of interest, and, notably, the rights of third parties to claim directly against insurers under legislation such as the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 1930.

We advise and represent all types of assureds – government and its agencies, local authorities, companies, and individuals – as well as underwriters.
