Clients value our determined focus.  They choose us time and time again because we work tirelessly to deliver the right results in this complex and regulated environment. 

We regularly act on a range of high profile and high value insurance business transfers both as part of takeovers and resultant demutualisations as well as internal transfers for restructuring purposes. Most recently, we advised on the demutualisation and flotation of Standard Life.

The team has also been involved in a number of intra-group restructurings done by way of insurance business transfer schemes through both the English and Scottish Courts.

With a considerable track record, Dundas & Wilson advises insurers on a wide range of legal and regulatory issues including:

• permitted links rules issues;
• PPFMs and CFPPFMs;
• the effect of the Insurers (Reorganisation and Winding-Up) Regulations;
• legal structures needed to equalise the ranking of reinsurance and direct insurance creditors;
• new product design; and
• the regulatory issues arising from commercial transactions including acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and distribution arrangements.
  

Working closely with our corporate and litigation teams we deliver a first-class service in this intricate area.
