Insureds, Captives & Non-Insurance Entities

Introduction

The vast majority of professional organisations have a complex array of insurance protection designed to minimise the impact of any number of risks.

However, many businesses, either by design or otherwise, manage their exposure to potentially insurable risks themselves.  DCS Asia Pacific, as specialists in the management of claims against commercial entities can assist in the control and administration of uninsured and self insured exposures. 

These claims may be within a self insured retention, under the primary layer of insurance or arising outside of the available insurance cover.  The principles remain the same and DCS Asia Pacific can ensure that the financial impact of the claim is minimised and the matter concluded in the most prompt, practical and equitable manner available.

The management of any litigation is a time consuming task requiring knowledge of the legal system, an understanding of the costs involved and a recognition of the opportunities to extricate oneself from the dispute with a commercially acceptable result.

DCS Asia Pacific specialise in conducting litigation for insurance companies but the skills we apply on behalf of these clients are equally relevant to any corporate entity whether acting as plaintiff or defendant.

A common complaint from business is that the litigation has “run away”, costs have overrun and with the benefit of hindsight it would have been better to never have issued proceedings or to have settled them immediately.  Our experience of commercial litigation allows us to better forecast the costs and timescale of the dispute and our pro-active management stance ensures that the litigation is driven towards a conclusion rather than being allowed to drift towards a lengthy, unnecessary and expensive hearing.

In addition our knowledge of the legal profession and first hand experience of the lead practitioners allows us to confidently recommend efficient and practical solicitors, barristers and experts to form a tailored legal team for each unique case.
