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.
