Expertise

Insurance Lawyer

Stuarts has an experienced team of insurance attorneys who offer in-depth market knowledge in relation to the insurance market. We assist in all aspects of establishment, licensing, structuring, regulation and operation of insurance and reinsurance companies and captives.

Our team has worked on the establishment and regulation of one of the few reinsurance companies in the Cayman Islands and we continue to develop innovative products to transform the insurance sector in the Cayman Islands.

We have a strong reputation working with banks on the financing of captives and the establishment of investment funds to invest captive reserves.  We have worked with many of the domestic insurance companies on a broad range of work including the drafting of policy wording and corporate restructuring issues.

We work closely with leading Cayman Island insurance managers and advise Cayman-based insurers on every aspect of their business including compliance and review of policies and advise both private and listed companies in relation to: alternative risk transactions, captive incorporations, captive and rent-a-captive programmes, catastrophe bonds, insurance and reinsurance policy wording, mergers and acquisitions, mutual insurance companies, policy and contract review, re-domiciliations, regulatory compliance, segregated portfolio companies, and the listing of insurance companies.

Our insurance team has been involved in the development of innovative financial products such as catastrophe bonds, a hybrid capital markets/insurance instrument, where actuarially calculated insurance risks are securitised and then traded as an investment product.
