Property & Construction > Major Property Damage

  • Fire and explosion
  • Flood
  • Structural failure and collapse
  • Ground movement and geo-technical claims

Handling claims of this nature forms a major part of our work. Recent high-profile examples include the fire at the Buncefield oil storage depot, the total loss of one of London’s major leisure venues and the destruction of the Royal Albion Hotel in Brighton. We are particularly well-known for our pioneering work on fires arising from mechanical and electrical installations.

The successful defence of such claims depends on the quality of the investigations put in train in the immediate aftermath of the loss. We ensure that these are properly conducted without compromising the position of the retained experts, with whom we work closely from Day One. We will invariably have worked with these same experts before.
