Financial and Insurance Litigation

Our team has participated in the main banking and finance litigation cases in Spain and Portugal. These include cases leading to extraordinary amendments to case law, which were later referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union, and defending financial institutions in the largest case in history so far in Spain based on the number of the litigants involved. The team is also highly specialized in implementing all kinds of financial and credit instruments.

We have long-standing expertise and a proven track record in insurance and reinsurance litigation. We have advised and participated in many of the insurance sector’s main issues—by relevance and amount—with particular emphasis on civil liability and damages, defective products, directors’ liability, mass damages, professional negligence and cybersecurity.

Our participation in these types of cases has enabled us to be pioneers in the specialty area of prevention and defense mechanisms for dealing with collective action lawsuits and mass litigation, as well as pioneers in creating protocols and new technologies to facilitate the most efficient and preventive management of these types of claims.

Since its creation, our team has always stood out for its innovative and multidisciplinary approach, incorporating lawyers from different practice areas and jurisdictions in its defense team, and offering our clients a more comprehensive vision and the best defense possible in this highly technically complex area.

The dispute resolution practice at Cuatrecasas is capable of handling high-value, high-profile, and complex matters.
