When insurance fails, seek expert advice
Insurance is an important safety net for businesses, but sometimes providers do not pay out when their clients expect them to. This is usually because of different interpretations of clauses in the policy. If this happens to your business, you need to seek expert advice from legal professionals who know the insurance industry inside and out.
We got you covered for all aspects of insurance claims
At Tees, we deal with insurance claims on both sides of the fence, advising businesses on policy interpretation or taking action against insurance brokers for failing to provide proper business cover. Equally we help insurance companies against fraudulent claims or defend against personal injury claims.

Legal and financial advice under one roof
Tees is a top-tier Legal 500 firm offering joined-up legal and financial services. We have our own independent financial advisers (IFAs), who work closely with our lawyers.
Our advisers provide holistic financial planning, and as we are not connected to any one provider, we can offer a whole-of-market approach for the range of products we can advise on. We can also give independent advice for a whole range of insurance products to protect you and your family. Our IFAs are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we’re accountable for the advice we give.
