Uninsured defence work
In some of the disputes on which Fenchurch Law is instructed, our clients require the additional service of uninsured defence work, where that work is related to an insurance claim.
At Fenchurch Law, our specialist solicitors understand that being involved in an insurance dispute while simultaneously facing a claim can put policyholders under considerable emotional and financial pressure. Our specialist lawyers are able to defend policyholders against third party claims, while simultaneously pursuing the policyholder’s claim against its insurer.
Our experienced team of solicitors will offer reassuring guidance as to how best to resolve both problems simultaneously, with a view to reducing the policyholder’s overall exposure. We work sensitively and pragmatically to find solutions and resolve issues as quickly as possible.
Even in the most complicated scenarios, our specialist insurance lawyers remain focused on our approach of solving complex problems simply and efficiently.
