The COVID-19 pandemic is creating significant health, social and economic challenges world-wide, forcing governments and businesses to assess the impact on their people, operations and governance.

Our latest “at a glance guide” considers some of the announcements made to date by EIOPA, the PRA and the FCA.  These cover a range of issues including actions that insurers should be taking to protect customers and employees, encouragement to firms to preserve capital and the extension of reporting deadlines.

Our COVID-19 crisis hub aims to help our clients navigate their way through the many legal and regulatory issues that COVID-19 creates for their businesses.

If you would like to discuss arrangements for support on any of the issues raised by COVID-19, please ask your regular Herbert Smith Freehills relationship contacts, or one of the following members of our insurance team.
