Surplus Lines

NLdH lawyers have substantial experience defending and representing clients in the excess and surplus lines industry. We are committed to providing this unique segment of the insurance industry with unparalleled representation in insurance, reinsurance, coverage, regulatory, corporate governance and complex litigation matters.

At our law firm, we recognize the intricacies of our clients' business dealings, the relationships of the various insurers to each other, and their relationships with their brokers and MGAs. We also understand the role of excess and surplus lines in the context of the insurance industry as a whole. In fact, we have more than 30 years of experience working within the industry, not just as attorneys, but in a variety of roles. As such, we are better able to assist our clients to achieve both their litigation goals and related business objectives.

The London Market

As a result of our firm's expanding relationship with the European insurance market and surplus lines insurers, we have created a team of lawyers dedicated to exclusively serving this segment of the industry.

Having served London-based insurers for well over a decade, we appreciate and understand the unique needs of these companies. This appreciation and understanding allows us to efficiently assess and resolve any potential problems in a more cost-effective manner.

Our commitment to fully understanding a client's business means that our attorneys spend considerable time in London meeting with clients. We have established our London office with this purpose in mind.

Our dedication to the surplus lines market and London-based insurers allows us to proceed with prompt investigation of insurance placing and coverage issues in order to efficiently comprehend and evaluate complex matters.

NLdH is proud of the reputation we have earned throughout the insurance industry. Learn more about our record of success.
