Practice Overview
Doré specialises in insurance, professional indemnity and product liability work. He is widely regarded for his thoroughness, attention to detail, and sound commercial judgement.
Doré has acted both for insurers in subrogated recovery claims and for indemnity insurers, in particular construction professionals. He regularly appears in the TCC. He is also widely experienced in coverage disputes, contentious technical issues on proximate cause of loss, policy avoidance for non-disclosure, fraudulent claims (including exaggeration) and inter-insurers claims. He acts for most of the leading insurers.
Doré’s product liability practice is largely insurance-driven and encompasses a very broad range of product liability claims.
The principal focus of Doré’s professional indemnity practice has been in claims for and against construction professionals (especially engineers and designers) and for and against valuers (defective buildings – commercial and domestic).
He has also acted against brokers, including Lloyd’s brokers (eg concerning coverage and notification), and for insurers against loss adjusters.
