Useful information

Quite often we face the necessity to look for the wording of a particular insurance clause (i.e. definition that was formed in the process of its use in practice).

For our clients’ convenience we decided to create a section where all standard insurance clauses used in contracts are presented.

This section is permanently updated and amended through the efforts of our colleagues. In case you did not find the insurance clause you need, you may contact us, and our specialists will be glad to consult you and help in choosing the right wording.
