I nsurance and Reinsurance

Our Insurance and Reinsurance Practice brings together the talent of professionals with substantial experience in the regulatory, corporate, contractual and contentious aspects of the insurance and reinsurance industries.

The work of our Insurance Practice includes:

• incorporation, licensing and operation of insurance businesses
• obtaining authorizations for insuring Mexican cross border risk
• structuring of new insurance products and lines of business
• mergers and acquisitions of insurance companies and insurance brokerage firms
• regulatory compliance advice
• administrative disciplinary procedures

Our insight into the reinsurance industry has helped position our Reinsurance Practice among the few and most experienced in Mexico. We represent reinsurers and reinsurance intermediaries in connection with the negotiation and drafting of reinsurance and retrocession agreements, the legal review and design of reinsurance structures, captives, regulation and market conduct, and the registration of foreign reinsurers.
