Our History

Fenchurch Law was established in 2010, in the wake of the 2007 financial crisis, a period that brought significant challenges to the insurance industry. As the crisis unfolded, many London market insurers adopted a more rigid stance towards claims, with some routinely seeking to avoid paying valid claims. It became increasingly evident to our founders that policyholders were often inadequately represented, as their solicitors lacked the specialist knowledge required to effectively advocate on their behalf.

Recognising this gap, Fenchurch Law opened it’s London office in the heart of EC3 to provide policyholders with access to the same high-quality, specialist legal advice that insurers had enjoyed for decades. Our mission from the outset has been to deliver unparalleled legal services exclusively to policyholders, ensuring that they are represented with the same level of expertise and commitment that insurers receive.

The firm’s international expansion continued in October 2025 with the opening of our Istanbul office. This office was established to work with policyholders and brokers across the Turkic and Balkan regions, providing first-class support on high-value, complex commercial insurance coverage disputes, just as we have done in the London Market since 2010.

The opening of the Istanbul office comes a year after the launch of Fenchurch Law’s offices in Singapore and Denmark, which marked a major milestone in the firm’s ongoing global expansion strategy.

Every member of our team is a genuine insurance specialist and has extensive experience of the insurance market. Equally importantly, every member of our team is passionate about serving the needs of policyholders and delivering the best possible outcomes.

As a result of our unrivalled expertise and unique insight into the insurance market, Fenchurch Law is regarded as the ‘go-to’ law firm for brokers and policyholders with difficult or complex insurance policy disputes. We are delighted that our client base and our work on complex and high-profile cases continues to expand as our reputation grows.
