Fountain Court Chambers has a strong reputation for its insurance work, with members representing both insurers and insureds on coverage disputes and in underlying third-party liability claims. The set is often involved in various types of insurance claims, including warranty and indemnity insurance and directors’ and officers’ liability claims. Bankim Thanki KC is recognised for his strong work in the aviation, commercial, and banking sectors, and is acting for Zurich Insurance on the Greensill Capital and Greensill Bank v Zurich Insurance case. Elsewhere in chambers, David Railton KC is continuously acting on high-profile, complex insurance claims, particularly, he acts for war risk insurers in the Russian Aircraft litigation. Niamh Cleary is another name to note for her work in complex insurance and reinsurance claims evolving from the war in Russia and Ukraine.
