Burness Paull has joined the Global Policyholder Alliance (GPA), the world’s largest global policyholder advocate network.
Bringing together 14 leading independent international firms, the alliance will collaborate closely to provide coordinated, cross border advice on major insurance disputes.
Through the GPA, businesses facing major insurance disputes will be able to access leading local expertise alongside coordinated cross-border advice from member firms across 19 jurisdictions in the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and other key jurisdictions.
Part of one of Scotland’s largest disputes practices, Burness Paull’s policyholder team advises corporate Scotland on its insurance coverage disputes. The team acts on complex coverage issues and disputes across a broad range of sectors.
Andrew Forsyth, partner at Burness Paull said: “Insurance is there to provide certainty when businesses face risk, disruption and loss. When cover is declined, delayed or disputed, the consequences can be significant and so it is crucial that policyholders have access to the best advice quickly, wherever they need it. I’m delighted that Burness Paull is a founding member of the GPA.”
Ashley Jones, partner added: “The Global Policy Alliance network allows us to call upon insurance litigation experts across the world and know we’re working with other leading experts in their field. This allows us to continue to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, wherever a claim arises.”
