Our lawyers in Mauritius offer a full range of insurance services, including transactional, regulatory, commercial dispute resolution, claims, competition, restructuring and emergency response. 

We view the companies that we work with not only as clients for a discrete project but also as business partners over both the short and long term. We are well trained in advising on insurance policies, insurance claims and support insurance companies in disputes and litigation matters.  We focus on providing advice in the context of the insurance sector, as well as looking at clients' existing circumstances and aspirations within the industry. 

Our team has an excellent understanding of the functions and remit of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), the regulator for the non-banking financial services sector, insurance and reinsurance sectors.
