Tanya Wood

With over 20 years’ experience advising insurers, brokers and clients on a range of insurance related matters, she has become a specialist in first response and triaging claims for insurers. She has led and managed a number of sensitive and highly complex security and first response claims associated with cyber and physical attacks, along with the business interruption and fraud issues invariably raised by these events. Tanya’s cyber experience also extends to advising insurers on policy wordings along with working with underwriters and brokers on changes to proposal forms and pre placement due diligence. She also works closely with insurers and brokers to assist with their ongoing cyber insurance training (and wider education for clients). Tanya has significant experience in the liability issues that often arise from a breach, from coverage advice through to acting in litigation arising from a breach.

Tanya has spent the majority of her career acting for liability and general insurers, advising on indemnity issues and defending insured liability claims.  Tanya has particular expertise in professional negligence claims for building professionals and consultants, public and product liability policies, construction risks including contract works insurance, directors and officers liability policies, property and business interruption insurance and cyber insurance.
