Property & Construction
The Property Insurance and Construction Group (PICG) within Greenwoods handles most of the Firm’s non-personal injury work. We deal with the full range of property casualty work, business interruption and policy coverage matters.
Under the leadership of Richard Houseago, the team deals with all sizes of loss, from multi-million pound individual actions to the handling, on a delegated basis, of books of business which, collectively, could amount to large exposures.
Much of our work is highly technical, and our detailed knowledge of the property and construction sectors enables us to work efficiently and productively with industry experts and counsel. This also means that in matters headingfor litigation or arbitration, we can quickly identify the critical issues which will determine the outcome.
The sooner we are instructed, the better – ideally within days of a loss to enable us to provide the earliest guidance on coverage issues and on the scope of expert and evidential enquiries.
Whether dealing with first party disputes or third party claims, we respond promptly to instructions with:
- Focussed and cost-effective appraisal
- Informed assessments of technical matters
- Involvement of carefully-selected experts and counsel, but only when necessary
- Alternative Dispute Resolution where appropriate
- Effective recovery action
