Hall & Wilcox‘s insurance practice demonstrates considerable expertise in general and statutory insurance claims. The team counts major insurers, corporate insurers, state government schemes, reinsurers, insurance intermediaries, and financial institutions as key clients which it advises on a range of contentious and non-contentious matters. Its top areas of instruction include cyber insurance, headed by Eden Winokur, property and construction liability claims, led by Melbourne-based Matt McDonald, and Chris Sacré leads the marine insurance group. Philip Hopley heads the non-contentious offering, while Gemma Dehn and newly-made partner Bridget Wall (in Brisbane) specialise in professional indemnity product lines and complex coverage issues. Rhett Slocombe chairs the practice from its Sydney office where all of the practitioners mentioned are based unless otherwise stated.
