Finance/insurance convergence group

Starting Area/Sector information

Our Finance/Insurance Convergence Group offers you specialist services on transactions that involve both insurance and other financial structures.

We set up the group so that we can pool our experience of the increasing convergence between insurance and banking to help your deals go more smoothly.

We have more than 30 lawyers in this international group, based in London, New York, Paris, Germany and Asia. They offer a depth of expertise and breadth of experience in advising on cross-sector risk and funding arrangements, including: the transfer of credit derivative exposures from banks to reinsurers; credit-enhancement of bond issuances; securitisation of insurance risk; finite reinsurance; and life company funding mechanisms.

The Finance/Insurance Convergence group is one example of how we integrate the high-level specialist advice needed to help your most complex projects succeed. Clifford Chance is uniquely equipped to pull together local and international expertise in insurance, corporate, capital markets, finance, securitisation, derivatives, tax and other disciplines on your behalf.

Our Finance/Insurance Convergence Group offers you specialist services on transactions that involve both insurance and other financial structures, including investment and commercial banks, agents, brokers and other participants in life policy securitizations and non-traditional premium finance transactions; numerous insurers and investment banks in connection with the issuance of structured GICs in the US and Europe; offshore insurers and counterparties of offshore insurers in insurance and reinsurance transactions involving financial guaranty, credit and political risk; and domestic and offshore investment banks in over 100 transactions involving the interplay between derivatives and insurance products.
