Leading global law firm Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer has
advised Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, the commercial insurance arm
of the Swiss Re Group, on its acquisition of QBE's global trade
credit and surety business.
Swiss Re Corporate Solutions provides risk transfer solutions to
large and mid-sized corporations around the world. Its innovative,
highly customised products and standard insurance covers help to

The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will
strengthen Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' direct credit and
surety insurance offering and supports its strategic ambition to
diversify its portfolio and capture new growth opportunities.
To support the transaction, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer
fielded a global team of experts. The transaction was led by our
London team, with Grant Murtagh (partner), Guy Burman (counsel),
Nancy Darmanin, Hamish Cullity and Nicholas Tubbs (associates) and
Annabel Vincent (trainee) making up the corporate team.
Grant Murtagh commented: "We are delighted to have worked
with Swiss Re Corporate Solutions on this strategic acquisition.
The transaction played to our strengths, including our global team
of experts and our deep knowledge of the insurance sector. We look
forward to continuing to work with Swiss Re on completing the
deal."
