Client for Chambers & Partners
Why us?
The insurance market is currently subject to high international standards and best practices in its operation, based on the supervision principles of the Latin American Insurance Supervisors Association (ASSAL) and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS). The current situation presents an additional challenge in complying with the best supervisory standards, as regional regulations aspire to their adoption and a risk-based supervisory approach is applied to efficiently and preventively fulfill the entrusted functions, with emphasis on the significant risks of supervised entities and promoting a culture of governance and risk management that prevents instability situations from manifesting in the insurance market. This model includes a strict solvency regime, a robust framework of corporate governance, and also a business conduct pillar that seeks to defend the rights of insurance consumers and the general public.
Consortium Legal provides legal advice on matters related to Regulatory Processes, Authorizations and Registration, Customer Service, Communication, and Market Supervision in the insurance industry, aiming for a strategic structuring of the insurance and reinsurance business, as well as its intermediation, in pursuit of operational efficiency and regulatory compliance that promotes market penetration and product placement according to commercial objectives and proposed targets for different market segments.
