Andrew Neish KC
‘A leading insurance and reinsurance KC.’
Members of 4 Pump Court cover work across a range of claims in the insurance market, and often act for (re)insurers, insurance brokers, and insured parties. Notably, the set has been involved in some of the Russian aviation litigation cases. In one example, Andrew Neish KC is representing several war risk reinsurers in claims against the Russian insurers’ reinsurers of Russian airlines; Alice Carse, Mek Mesfin and Martyn Naylor are key junior counsel on this matter. Aidan Christie KC is active in lockdown business interruption claims, while James Purchas is notable for his expertise in advising on coverage, cover-holder disputes, and aggregation difficulties, particularly for insurers and reinsurers.
