King & Wood Mallesons is delighted to be bringing you this third edition of the Insurance Pocketbook. The inspiration behind the Insurance Pocketbook was that we wanted to find a better way of sharing our insight and experience with our clients, and industry stakeholders. We have been overwhelmed by the support and feedback we have received on previous editions and hope to catch up with you soon.

Inside this third edition of the Insurance Pocketbook you will find:

  • informed commentary from Mandy Tsang, Sarah Yu, Jim Boynton, and their teams on trends they are observing in the market, and the impact of current reform;
  • exclusive interviews with Nicholas Ferrari (the Head of Transactional Liability Australia and New Zealand at Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance) and Gill Collins with Cyber Incident Management and Cyber Consulting, Pacific at Marsh; and
  • succinct case notes on significant decisions from the last year, as well as a spotlight on some classic Australian insurance cases.
