For the second time in three years, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP was named the winner in the “Insurance (Insurer)” category at Chambers and Partners' 11th annual Chambers USA Awards for Excellence.

According to Chambers USA, the Debevoise Insurance Group “demonstrates truly outstanding credentials in M&A matters in the insurance industry, with critical transactional experience as well as top-notch regulatory know-how.”
