PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Navigate the complexities of reinsurance law in England and Bermuda with The Law of Reinsurance. This title covers the fundamental principles of reinsurance contract formation and regulation to equip you with the guidance you need to identify and resolve any challenges.

Beyond the contract, this work also explores relevant areas of agency law to provide a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities that agents hold in the reinsurance market. It offers detailed insights into intermediaries and their duties to help you advise with confidence. And when disputes do arise, it provides comprehensive guidance on the correct process and procedure for litigation and arbitration.

In a notoriously complex field, this title serves as a crucial resource for trans-Atlantic reinsurance law and practice. Order your copy now in print, eBook or online to ensure that you benefit from the very latest updates.
