Our project management and transaction execution capability has been demonstrated in relation to multiple assignments we have handled for a variety of clients over the years but we single out Hiscox, one of the largest international specialist insurance and reinsurance companies in the world, where we have acted, in a semi-in house capacity, in the context of a series of diverse transactions including strategic disposals and the acquisition of a number of specialist underwriting books of business/MGAs completed by Hiscox over a 3 year period.
Completed transactions have included the acquisitions of specialist fine arts, contingency and pilot loss of licence insurance underwriting businesses as well as the disposal of the group’s interests in Guernsey-based insurance and financial services Heritage Group and the valuation of its specialist fund management business formerly known as Hiscox Investment Management.
As part of our work for Hiscox, we have also co-ordinated a variety of cross-border projects involving complex negotiations, recovery work, re-structuring, tax, legal, multi-jurisdictional elements and multi-disciplinary teams and reviewed various insurance opportunities in territories ranging from Germany, Belgium and Spain to the United Arab Emirates.
