About

With the imminent $28bn purchase by leading Swiss insurer Ace, Chubb Insurance looks set to become part of a global commercial and P&C insurance leader. Australian GC Vivienne Webster has played a central role in cross-border negotiations. With over a decade’s industry experience, this is the latest in a long line of major strategic transactions under her belt, both at Chubb, and in her previous role in QBE’s senior legal management team. Webster is praised for her speed, poise and clear judgement in high pressure situations. Sources particularly praise her handling of complex competition issues. A former barrister, Webster also led the legal team reviewing a superannuation licensing project for the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
