Belzuz - Portugal

The Insurance Law Department at Belzuz started out as part of Commercial Law, advising clients in insurance-related aspects.

The growing demand for services related to the insurance world and the uniqueness and specialization required by this sector of law created the need for an autonomous department lawyers engaged in insurance and the insurance business, which treated and explored issues related to this important area of legal knowledge differently.

Considering the breadth of issues in the world of insurance, the department is specialized in the areas of product liability, traffic law, general insurance and general liability.

Awareness of the increasing globalization and international importance of insurance prompted Belzuz, along with other foreign law firms to set-up Insuralex (Global Insurance Lawyers Group) which brings together prestigious law firms to insurance specialists worldwide.
