Background

About Edward Rushton

I have specialised in insurance and reinsurance since qualification as a solicitor in 2006 and have been recognised by the UK Legal 500 as a next-generation lawyer in insurance and reinsurance litigation. In addition to extensive arbitration experience, I acted successfully in leading High Court and Court of Appeal cases, such as Axa Versicherung AG v Arab Insurance Group, the leading decision on inducement in relation to non-disclosure and misrepresentation upon placement, and AIOI v Heraldglen, the leading decision regarding aggregation of the World Trade Center losses. At HFW I advised clients in relation to disputes across all classes of general insurance and am experienced in dealing with legacy and run-off business, fronting and captive arrangements, financial institutions, political violence, marine, energy and aviation claims and property damage and business interruption losses. I am also an experienced adviser on policy wordings and (re)insurance programme analysis and combine an understanding of the technical and practical aspects of re/insurance business with legal expertise. I am also knowledgeable about AI and excited about using it to leverage expertise. In my free time I enjoy tinkering with technology, long walks, high mountains and helping other people.
