National and global insurance and reinsurance companies choose Beccar Varela for its ability along the length of the insurance value chain. The team acts primarily on corporate and regulatory mandates, including agreements with reinsurers, premium collection agreements and claims reports, but also handles contentious matters (including business-to-business) and class actions. Drawing on the firm’s wider full-service ability, it is also active in domestic and cross-border M&A related to the sector. With past in-house industry experience, practice head Daniel Seoane handles insurance, reinsurance and admiralty law, including corporate and M&A, regulatory affairs, contracts, and maritime insurance and reinsurance claims. Seoane is flanked at associate level by seniors Agustín Duarte, who focuses on the formation and sale of insurance companies, the transfer and sale of customer portfolios, and daily insurance advisory; and Daiana Mari, whose practice is centred on regulatory issues, agreements, and corporate mandates in the sector.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Daniel Seoane serves clients with speed, efficiency, and business knowledge.
- High specialization and effective service delivery.
- They are a very solid team, with technical expertise, yet practical. They quickly grasp the business, the regulatory context, and internal priorities, enabling them to provide actionable, not merely academic, solutions. We primarily use them for corporate matters, specific insurance and labor law consultations, and occasionally for specific tax issues. In every case, their response has been consistent, clear, and reliable. They compare very favorably with other firms due to their excellent value for money, their flexibility, and the level of trust built over many years of working together. They don't require lengthy onboarding processes: they already know the company. Unlike other, more rigid firms, the team combines seniority with approachability, demonstrating a collaborative and empathetic attitude that makes a real difference in our daily operations.
- The key differentiator is the combination of experience, professional humility, and business acumen. They are highly technical lawyers, but with an enormous capacity to listen, adapt, and support internal decision-making. They stand out for their approachability, empathy with the client, and flexibility, without sacrificing technical rigor. Working with them fosters trust, especially in sensitive or urgent situations where immediate availability, sound judgment, experience, and pragmatism are essential. The long-term relationship is also a key advantage: they understand the company's history, standards, and culture, making them a true legal partner and not just an external provider.
