The ‘phenomenal’ insurance and reinsurance practice at Appleby is well-equipped to hand the establishment, regulatory compliance, and business operations of (re)insurance businesses, managers, and brokers. The practice is also experienced in insurance-related mergers, capital raising, and alternative risk transfer structures. Practice head and managing partner Brad Adderley is praised as ’the best in the world at Bermuda reinsurance law’, and he boasts expertise in ILS, alternative, and collateralised reinsurance investment transactions. John Wasty heads up the contentious insurance group and frequently acts for (re)insurers, the insured, captives, and brokers. Alan Bossin is another key name of note in the M&A, corporate finance, and private equity arenas regarding insurance-related mandates. Regulatory and transactional work are strengths of Matthew Carr, while counsel Josephine Noddings expertly handles corporate law elements of insurance matters. In May 2024, counsel Cathryn Minors joined the team from Walkers, while Gary Harris left the team.
