At Farrar’s Building, we understand the insurance market: it’s people, pressures and processes.

Our longstanding relationships within the sector, combined with our deep technical knowledge, mean we are trusted by both policyholders and many of the largest national and international insurers.

We act across the full spectrum of insurance disputes, advising on coverage, liability, subrogation and recovery. Our work spans property damage, business interruption, product liability, professional negligence and employers’ and public liability claims, as well as motor, life and health insurance. We are also frequently instructed in matters involving civil fraud, reinsurance, contribution, and jurisdictional issues, including choice of law.

Our barristers are regularly instructed in complex disputes concerning the interpretation of policy and treaty wording, including issues of coverage, affirmation, waiver and estoppel, the law of average and underinsurance, and claims co-operation clauses. We provide clear, strategic advice at every stage of a claim, from early assessment through to litigation and resolution.

A particular strength of the team lies in its ability to manage claims which overlap with Chambers’ wider areas of expertise, including personal injury, property damage, and health and safety. This ensures clients receive complete support throughout the lifecycle of a claim, from initial incident to resolution.

Recognised by the leading legal directories as a “friendly but professional set that always produces work of the highest standard” and “a leading set, and the service you receive is befitting of that reputation” (Legal 500), Farrar’s Building combines technical excellence with a responsive and collaborative approach.

We are strong advocates of early case evaluation, recognising the value of early counsel involvement in shaping strategy, informing reserve setting and promoting efficient resolution, including through alternative dispute resolution, where appropriate.
