Travel

Penningtons has the specialist knowledge to provide fast, innovative and efficient solutions in this complex and ever changing area of law. We represent a variety of corporate, high-profile clients, including underwriters, legal expenses insurers, tour operators and international hotel chains.

Our expertise as travel litigators is recognised by various household name insurers for whom we act as the panel solicitors. They rely on us to represent their policyholders for compensation claims arising from accidents abroad and to act for the insured in a defendant capacity when necessary. Our team, which includes linguists, also has the backing of an international network of specialist lawyers on whom we can call when the need arises.

We recognise the importance of insurance recoveries and have created schemes for travel insurers and assistance companies to help improve the recovery of repatriation and medical expenses. We also help to defend travel insurers against breach of contract claims pursued by policyholders.

Penningtons represents a select group of tour operators and hotel chains, giving advice regarding terms and conditions, supplier contracts, accidents on hotel premises and other issues arising from the package travel regulations.

Our travel law team also acts for private individuals >>.
