From Lime Street to Main Street: The London Market’s Influence on American Coverage Disputes

Matt Pepping will serve as a panelist at the American Bar Association (ABA) 34th Annual Insurance Coverage Litigation Conference, taking place February 19-21, 2026, in Iowa City. The panel “From Lime Street to Main Street: The London Market’s Influence on American Coverage Disputes.” 

The event description is as follows: 

Description: The London Insurance Market, including Lloyd’s, plays a major role in insuring American risks, especially in complex, high-value, and exotic coverage lines. Its policies often use bespoke language, which can lead to differing interpretations and rules of interpretation. London-based claims handling is unique and may involve a syndicated risk with multiple agreement parties. This structure can, at times, be more flexible and, at others, less than counsel may experience with domestic insurers. American coverage counsel needs to understand how these dynamics can significantly affect the pace, posture, and outcome of U.S.-based claims.
