Insurance law is a highly technical legal field that requires a high level of expertise and precision. Squair assists its clients with clear, tailored advice, built on the expertise of a specialized team that addresses complex issues with precision and pragmatism.

Our expertise in insurance law and our understanding of policyholders’ operational and financial constraints enable us to provide effective support and solutions in both advisory and litigation matters.

Our work covers a wide range of insurance products: industrial risks, product liability and property damage, general and professional civil liability, medical liability, and financial lines.

Our services cover the full insurance lifecycle. Our lawyers are involved in negotiation, distribution, policy drafting, insurance program audits, contract implementation, and in the management and financial handling of domestic and cross-border claims in ad hoc or institutional arbitration proceedings (GCA, ICC, CMAP).

We also act in complex, multi-party and cross-border disputes, including coverage enforcement, negotiation of settlements, expert monitoring, and in litigation management.

Industrial Risks & Products Liability

Our firm advises manufacturers, distributors, importers and insurers in managing risks related to products placed on the market. We provide legal analysis, claims and litigation strategies, and support on safety, compliance and products recall issues. We handle matters with significant technical, financial and reputational dimensions, in close coordination with legal and operational teams as well as insurers and brokers. Our approach combines legal rigor, industrial understanding and a strategic approach to risk.

We also advise our clients on all matters relating to their digital activities and connected or complex products, in close partnership with the firm's IT/personal data team.

Maritime Law & Transport Law

Maritime law is a discipline in its own right, exposing its participants to varied and often highly technical risks: performance and termination of charterparties, vessel arrests, shipowner liability, and marine pollution. These risks are addressed through specific instruments — P&I clubs, hull insurance — requiring knowledge of maritime law and insurance mechanisms. In the area of transport, we also handle risks associated with multimodal freight transport: damage, loss, delays, and failures by carriers or intermediaries, as well as the enforcement of cargo policies. We advise shipowners, charterers, shippers and freight forwarders in negotiating their policies, managing their claims and defending their interests before French courts or in international arbitration.

Financial Lines & Warranty and Indemnity

We advise in the areas of directors' and officers' liability insurance for companies and associations, civil liability insurance for financial institutions, asset management companies and regulated professions (financial intermediaries, legal professionals, etc.), including fraud and cyber insurance.
Our lawyers have also developed expertise in the negotiation, drafting and enforcement of tax liability insurance and warranty & indemnity (W&I) insurance. In the context of mergers and acquisitions, these coverages involve complex tax, legal and financial exposure that our teams master both at the structuring stage and in the event of a claim.

Healthcare & Personal Injury

Our firm advises on healthcare law, medical and professional civil liability, both in litigation and in an advisory capacity, with an approach focused on medical risk management and insurance considerations.

Our team supports healthcare professionals, institutions and their insurers at every stage, from risk analysis through to litigation, including disciplinary proceedings.

We have significant experience in personal injury compensation, as our lawyers assist policyholders — at the request of insurers — in managing bodily injury claims, both out-of-court and during litigation, ensuring full and effective compensation for losses arising from road accidents, workplace accidents, everyday life accidents, assaults, natural disasters and terrorist attacks.
