Ilyashev & Partners has extensive experience in insurance law and advises Ukrainian and international insurance companies, reinsurers, brokers, financial institutions, and large corporate groups on insurance market regulation, insurance operations, and dispute resolution.

With many years’ cooperation with leading market players, the firm’s lawyers have a strong understanding of the insurance business and the legal framework governing insurance and reinsurance in Ukraine. We advise clients on structuring insurance products, the drafting and executing insurance and reinsurance contracts, as well as supporting cross-border insurance and reinsurance transactions.

We also actively represent businesses as policyholders, including in matters related to movable and immovable property insurance, complex corporate insurance programmes, and protection of clients’ interests in cases of insurance indemnity denial.

A distinct area of expertise is regulatory matters, including interaction with the National Bank of Ukraine, compliance with insurance legislation, corporate structuring of insurance companies, and support for investments in the insurance sector.

In the context of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the team has practical experience advising on war risk insurance, including coverage for damage to or loss of property, as well as interaction with insurers and reinsurers in connection with war-related events. We assist clients in structuring the insurance coverage based on war and political risks, sanctions restrictions, and international insurance practices.

The firm’s lawyers have significant experience representing clients in disputes related to insurance indemnity payments, interpretation of insurance contracts, reinsurance relationships, and insurers’ liability. We represent insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and policyholders in complex court proceedings and international arbitration.
