Our Services
At Fenchurch Law our exclusive focus is on representing policyholders in insurance coverage disputes with their insurers. Our solicitors provide our clients with the highest quality insurance advice and represent policyholders in complex and high value coverage disputes.
Although the majority of insurance claims are settled without dispute, there are inevitably occasions when claims are wrongly refused or policies are incorrectly avoided.
Working closely with insurance brokers, our primary aim is to achieve a mutually acceptable, commercial resolution to our clients’ disputes, quickly and cost-effectively. The insurance industry is highly sophisticated and deep knowledge of the sector is essential. At Fenchurch Law, we are uniquely placed to navigate the complexities, with our extensive experience acting for policyholders complemented by invaluable insight gained in prior roles as brokers, claims adjusters and insurer-side lawyers.
Our clients include global multinationals, foreign and UK-based companies of all sizes and across all industry sectors that place their insurance in the London market and high net worth individuals. Every one of our clients benefits from the expertise, experience and knowledge of our outstanding team of specialist insurance dispute solicitors.

Policy wording advice
When insurance claims are made, policy wordings can come under the most intense scrutiny
At Fenchurch Law, our expert team of solicitors is available to review, comment on and critique policy wordings and extensions for our clients and their brokers
