Stewarts, the UK’s largest litigation-only law firm, is working with Claims Gate to launch their business interruption insurance claims service.

Stewarts has acted in some of the most high-profile and groundbreaking commercial litigation cases in the UK, including significant actions brought against Mastercard, RBS and Tesco.

The Stewarts Claims Service enables businesses across the hospitality, retail, entertainment, sport and leisure sectors, with a valid Covid-19 business interruption claim, to pursue payment from their insurer.

Of 370,000 UK business interruption insurance policyholders, only 43,027 claims have been paid out by insurers according to data published by the FCA in March 2023.

Aaron Le Marquer, Head of Policyholder Disputes at Stewarts, says:

“Although the FCA estimated that around 370,000 policyholders held policies affected by the test case which commenced in 2020, the latest data from insurers shows that only around 40,000 claims have been paid so far. Cases that we have pursued against insurers since 2020 have further extended the scope of coverage available to policyholders, and our recent experience shows that many businesses remain uncompensated by their insurers despite being entitled to claim.”

“Our Covid Claims Service is intended to assist businesses who have received no compensation from insurers in respect of the Covid lockdowns to find out if they might have a valid claim.”

Stewart’s Policyholder Disputes team are leading experts in Covid-19 litigation, backed by the full resources of the UK’s largest disputes-only firm, with 80 partners and over 250 qualified litigators. They are well-known for handling the largest and most complex disputes including many ground-breaking actions against insurers, banks and other financial institutions.
