Insurance and reinsurance

Crown Office Chambers is a ‘good all-around set’, particular strength in handling work for clients in the construction and energy sectors. The team’s workload includes business interruption, property damage, employers’ liability, and public liability cases. Andrew Rigney KC is leading a team of 3 counsel for the insurers in the Sky & Mace v Riverstone and other Insurers case, a case arising from damage done to the roof of Sky’s global headquarters, leading to a coverage dispute claim under a construction all risks policy. Elsewhere in chambers, James Medd  is representing AXA Insurance Limited in a case involving a fire at a warehouse; it is alleged that the fire started due to the improper disposal of cloths that were soaked with linseed oil, which eventually self-heated, leading to the fire. Michael Curtis KC has retired.
