2021 was a difficult year to be an insurer (not least because of a wave of new law which came into effect) and a challenging year to be a policyholder, but was also a year marked by significant insurance-related disputes in court and high-profile transactions involving life insurance companies.
Inside this second edition of the Insurance Pocketbook you will find editorials from our team, short papers on legislative reform and industry trends, and consumable summaries of significant cases. This year, we have profiled some significant decisions from the past 12 months, but also brought back into focus some classic Australian insurance cases.
The inspiration behind the Insurance Pocketbook is that we wanted to find a better way of sharing our insight and experience with our clients, and industry stakeholders. The insurance team at King & Wood Mallesons has broad experience and deep market insight. We understand the current drivers in the sector.
Our experience acting for both policyholders, and insurers, has allowed our team to develop an in-depth knowledge of the industry and understand key risks associated with in the financial services sector.
