High net and ultra-net worth individuals have specialist and often complex insurance requirements necessary to protect high value assets such as homes, cars, boats and yachts, jewellery, watches, property portfolios and antique/art collections.

Edwin Coe’s insurance team regularly works with policyholder clients such as entrepreneurs, landowners and family offices providing a bespoke and client focused service to high and ultra-high net worth clients.  Our experience enables us to advise on the numerous legal issues which can arise out of high net worth insurance policies.

We build strong personal relationships with our clients and collaboration across our practice areas enables our high net worth clients to also benefit from Edwin Coe’s wider expertise in the private client, real estate, and immigration and tax sectors.
