Our recently published  guide to coverage defences in Europe provides an overview of the key coverage defences under the law of England and Wales and the extent to which these defences are available to insurers in other European jurisdictions.  The aim of the guide is to provide a useful quick reference tool for insurers and brokers involved in underwriting and placing risks across Europe. 

Each section of the guide has been written by local insurance lawyers who are part of the CMS network. As part of the CMS network we are able to offer the services of a total of 52 offices in 28 countries in Western and Central Europe and beyond.  Thanks to the way we are structured, we can provide specialist insurance lawyers who genuinely understand the local legal and commercial markets.
