  • ‘Debevoise's insurance practice is solid. Not only the partners but also the associates, and it is evident that a lot of investment is put into training and developing the team more broadly to provide first-rate advisory service and turnaround times to clients.'

  • ‘Clare Swirski's depth of experience and knowledge across the (re)insurance sector is invaluable. She is a reliable and pragmatic adviser, with that rare blend of technical, legal, regulatory, industry and commercial knowledge and understanding. Clare is also genuinely down to earth, very pleasant to deal with and a first choice for us as a client. Additionally, she is widely respected by competitors in her field.’
