A&O Shearman

The ‘professional and committed’ team at A&O Shearman has excellent industry knowledge, which it effectively leverages for insurers, reinsurers, banks and brokers seeking standalone regulatory advice, as well as in the context of transactions and litigation. On the transactional front, the team, which is led by Paul Péporté, collaborates well with the office’s market-leading M&A practice on consolidation in the industry, often also working alongside international offices due to the multi-jurisdictional nature of many mandates. Helena Finn has extensive regulatory knowledge which she utilises for clients seeking guidance on both transactions as well as more general advisory work, including on anti-money laundering (AML) implications for insurance clients. The vastly experienced Pierre Schleimer also handles insurance/reinsurance matters as part of his broad finance offering.
