Lord Sheikh, chief executive of Camberford Law, commented: “With this new scheme we can tick all the boxes and we are hopeful of great things. We already have a strong relationship with Groupama who have significant experience of managing and developing niche schemes such as this. They also have the financial strength that clients want and need; and the proven ability to handle claims with the expertise necessary for such a specialist class of business.”
Cathie Bruce, distribution and customer service director at Groupama, said: “A company's brand or the patents or designs it owns are crucially important business assets that need protection against infringement. We see this as a growing area, particularly with the increasing risks posed by Internet trading and the ease with which things can be duplicated in the e-world to allow passing off. We are really pleased to e working with Camberford Law on this new scheme. Their specialist development expertise is a great match for our technical underwriting abilities.”
