Insurance

Clairvoyant Legal delivers comprehensive strategic legal counsel to clients across the insurance industry, offering advisory, transactional, and dispute resolution support to insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries, insurtech firms, and institutional investors. As the sector continues to evolve under regulatory reforms, increased digitalization, and emerging risk landscapes, our team of seasoned lawyers, experienced advocates, and legal consultants provides industry-aligned advice that balances compliance with commercial viability.

We assist insurance entities in interpreting and complying with the complex and evolving legal and regulatory framework governed by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), company law, data protection laws, and consumer protection regulations. Our services include assisting clients in obtaining and maintaining licenses and registrations, responding to regulatory examinations and audits, and ensuring ongoing compliance with IRDAI circulars, notifications, and reporting requirements.

Our work in this sector spans across both life and general insurance, as well as reinsurance and health insurance domains. We are routinely engaged in reviewing and advising on insurance product documentation, policy wording, endorsements, exclusions, and claim-related clauses to ensure enforceability and compliance with regulatory mandates. We work closely with underwriting, compliance, and legal teams to provide solutions that not only meet IRDAI approval standards but also reduce future exposure to litigation and customer grievances.

Clairvoyant Legal advises on a range of transactions in the insurance space, including joint ventures, strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings, and third-party arrangements involving brokers, web aggregators, corporate agents, and TPAs. We provide end-to-end support in structuring deals, conducting regulatory and legal due diligence, drafting and negotiating shareholder agreements, and obtaining approvals for change in ownership, control, or management under applicable laws. We also counsel foreign investors and insurers on structuring their India presence in compliance with sectoral FDI caps, capitalisation norms, and foreign exchange regulations.

Our team of insurance lawyers and legal consultants has significant experience in supporting clients involved in digital innovation and insurance technology. We advise insurtech companies, digital intermediaries, and app-based platforms on regulatory requirements for licensing, technology integration, policy issuance, and online distribution. Our team also supports clients in navigating regulatory sandbox frameworks, API integrations, and automation in claims processing, with legal solutions tailored to address emerging challenges around digital signatures, data privacy, electronic records, and remote customer onboarding.

Clairvoyant Legal has also developed strong capabilities in litigation and dispute management involving insurance and reinsurance contracts, claim denials, policy interpretation, subrogation rights, indemnity issues, and agent-related disputes. We represent clients in proceedings before consumer courts, civil courts, High Courts, arbitral tribunals, and specialized forums. Our approach to dispute resolution emphasizes pre-litigation risk mitigation, efficient case strategy, and commercially sensible resolutions. We also handle regulatory show cause matters and enforcement actions, working closely with clients to ensure timely compliance and protect their business interests.

Our advisory services extend to employment law, vendor contracting, corporate governance, and general compliance support across the insurance value chain. We regularly draft and review employment agreements, POSH policies, non-compete arrangements, and confidentiality clauses for insurers and intermediaries. We also assist in negotiating vendor agreements, cloud service arrangements, and data-sharing contracts, ensuring legal protections are embedded at every level of operation.

We advise on Indian regulatory implications for multinational insurance programs, outbound reinsurance, international claims handling, and intercompany services arrangements. Our team coordinates with foreign legal counsel to ensure enforceability and compliance across jurisdictions, especially in multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution or treaty-based structures.
