Insurance & Reinsurance
Review of policies and cover, claims handling, and disputes between insurers and insured parties.
The insurance sector is governed by laws and regulations directed at organising insurance operations and protecting beneficiaries. They cover the regulation of policies, the obligations and rights as between insurers and individuals, and the rules governing claims and loss. In Qatar, the insurance law regulates insurance activity so that the market operates with transparency and fairness.
Reinsurance is the process by which insurers transfer part of their risk to other companies known as reinsurers, which distributes risk and strengthens the stability of insurers. The law governs the terms of contracting between them and compliance with financial and legislative standards.
