RPC welcomes Belgian firm Lydian to Global Access Lawyers network

International law firm, RPC, is pleased to welcome leading Belgian law firm Lydian to Global Access Lawyers, the international alliance of law firms dedicated to serving the global insurance market.

Lydian’s recognised strength in insurance and reinsurance law brings deep sector expertise and strategic value to the network. Its addition significantly enhances RPC’s ability to support clients with operations in Belgium and reflects the increasing strength and credibility of the Global Access Lawyers model.

Simon Laird, Global Head of Insurance at RPC, commented: “Lydian’s arrival reinforces our international strategy. Its sector insight, collaborative mindset, and understanding of client needs make them a great addition to the alliance – and a strong partner for RPC and our clients.”

Global Access Lawyers was created in response to the insurance market’s demand for smarter, more coordinated international legal solutions. The alliance now includes seven leading firms, offering clients access to over 2,000 lawyers across 44 offices worldwide. It focuses on four core specialisms: insurance coverage, insurance defence, regulatory and compliance, and policy wordings.

Each firm brings deep sector knowledge and a shared commitment to helping the insurance industry thrive through collaboration, innovation and outstanding client service.

Jan Hofkens, Managing Partner at Lydian, added: “Assisting insurers and their clients is a core specialism of our firm. Our team includes lawyers who have worked within the insurance industry, giving us an insider’s perspective on what clients need. Joining Global Access Lawyers allows us to partner with like-minded firms across the globe and offer our clients a truly connected service.”

As a gateway to EU regulatory frameworks and home to the world's major international insurers, Belgium is a key jurisdiction for many of RPC’s clients. With Lydian now part of Global Access Lawyers, RPC can further extend its international reach and deliver enhanced support for clients with interests in Europe.
