Kennedys

Spain Office: Insurance and Reinsurance; Casualty; Professional Liability

Alicia, Senior Associate in Kennedys' office in Madrid,  is an expert in Civil Liability, specialising in casualty, PI (in particular, medical malpractice, architects, lawyers and court clerks, and engineers) and product liability. Skilled in the art of negotiation and practised in court appearances, she handles both contentious and non-contentious matters for local and international insurers. She is experienced in acting as TPA for London Market insurers, international insurance companies and MGAs that underwrite policies in Spain, managing the bordereaux and handling the claims from their receipt to their final resolution including the assessment on coverage and the insured’s and/or the insurer’s defence.

Alicia frequently handles the revision, interpretation and adaptation of insurance policies to Spanish law. Being a dual qualified lawyer allows her a wider global vision of the policies, as she is aware of the intricacies of the law both in Spain and in England and Wales.

As part of her activity, Alicia is a regular speaker at local and international seminars to discuss insurance trends and to explain the Spanish legal system to foreign underwriters and claims managers, as well as helping to promote and develop diversity and inclusion in the insurance market.

Alicia  is the General Secretary of the Spanish Young Insurance Professionals Association promoting the insurance market among the youth and developing different activities with social impact.
