Our expertise
Insurers are well served by high‑quality legal advisers, with many firms employing thousands of lawyers whose time is spent exclusively representing the interests of insurers.
CLIR Fenchurch exists to provide policyholders with access to the same high quality insurance legal advice that insurers have been able to take for granted for decades.
We are genuine insurance practitioners, having previously worked for leading companies in a variety of roles including insurance broker, claims adjuster and insurer-side lawyer. Every single member of our team of practitioners has direct experience of the insurance market and all the insight and understanding that brings. All focus exclusively on insurance coverage work.
