FIRM PROFILE EC3\Legal was launched at the end of 2012 to fill the gap in legal and other services provided to SME intermediated businesses. EC3\Legal LLP has brought a fresh attitude and commercial approach to legal services in the insurance sector. We have become the ‘Firm of Choice’ for over 80 clients, and have been instructed on 25 deals worth over £200m all around the UK. We now a healthy team of 13 and growing.
EC3\Legal LLP is not a one dimensional, stereotypical law firm. Our clients see us as a true business partner and use us to provide much wider support than just legal advices. We don’t just think about plain legalities - we think about our client and their business objectives.
We are recognised and recommended as “the firm to go to” on intermediated market matters by our peers, banks, venture capital houses, corporate finance advisers and accountants supporting the sector. We have rapidly established a reputation as a straightforward, commercially-minded law firm with a desire to “get the deal done”.
David Coupe has been practicing corporate commercial law for 30 years, principally around the London and Lloyd’s insurance market, and in China even longer. Prior to establishing EC3\Legal, David was a partner at Ince & Co. and Clyde & Co for 20 years. A founding member of the Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA), he is also on various consultative bodies, including ones at Lloyd’s, and speaks and writes frequently on the UK intermediated insurance issues.
EC3\Legal have identified that all insurance clients need the “Five Pillars of Support” in their business. These pillars represent the specific areas of support which the clients tells us that they need, namely: employment; regulation and compliance; property; commercial; and corporate. EC3\Legal has strategically recruited specialists in each of these areas to meet those demands.
In summary, EC3\Legal is not just a law firm – it is a “business partner”. By combining a commercial approach to legal provision with the use of technology,
we have been able to deliver services more effectively, and at a reduced cost. We have invested time and effort in building a reputation for responsive, no- nonsense legal services for MGA and broker legal work.
