“I offer straightforward, robust advice – working closely with clients in a friendly manner to become their trusted adviser.”
“Insurance is a truly global business, so I regularly advise clients on commercial, transactional and regulatory matters with an international dimension. These include cross-border M&As, pan-European insurance distribution projects, business structuring, reinsurance and fronting projects, and non-admitted insurance matters.
My wealth of experience and market knowledge, gained over many years of working in the insurance sector, enables me to provide sound judgement and commercially focussed advice, and solve difficult regulatory challenges.
I offer straightforward, robust advice – working closely with clients in a friendly manner to become their trusted adviser. That involves understanding their individual business issues, offering relevant solutions, introducing colleagues who could help in other areas, helping with training needs, and delivering the latest insights. Above all, it’s about building strong and lasting client relationships.”
Matthew’s recent work highlights:
Advising Markel on a £200m UK motor insurance loss portfolio reinsurance transaction with Marco Capital.
Supporting a major insurance group on a large-scale policy review project covering multiple different insurance products. This included taking a consumer duty perspective and producing associated documentation.
Advising a global broking group on the transfer of a substantial book of insurance business to a major UK-headquartered insurer.
