Our reinsurance practice at HB&B includes contract reviews and drafting of wordings for insurance companies, reinsurers and captive programs; monitoring and handling arbitrations and litigation arising out of reinsurance collection disputes and insurer insolvencies; and negotiation of commutation agreements. Our lawyers have represented cedents and reinsurers in arbitrations and litigation involving such issues as fraud and misrepresentation, follow the fortunes, claims control, "bad faith" allocation, treaty exclusions and facultative limits on allocated expense. We have negotiated commutations of individual facultative certificates as well as multiple relationships of a large insurance group with the California-based Transit receiver in liquidation.
