Reviews

The text is well-written and logically presentedÓ an excellent book which will be of great practical utility to insurers, brokers and lawyers.
- Insurance Law Monthly (of the previous edition)

Sets out in a precise but readable way the rights and obligations of insurance brokers.
- The CII Journal (of the previous edition)

This book is the first point of reference for any question on the law relating to insurance brokers. - Robert Merkin, Journal of Business Law

This work is extremely timely...Chris Henly perfectly captures the current mood. This is much more than a text on the duties and liabilities of brokers. - Robert Merkin, Journal of Business Law
