Insurer also forces law firms to cut fees by as much as 40%

Business deal work handshake people

Aviva has decided to cut its panel of legal providers, appointing just eight law firms.

The insurer also appointed a further 13 companies for specialist work.

The eight main providers appointed to the panel are Allen & Overy, Slaughter & May, Ashurst, DLA Piper, Latham & Watkins, Linklaters, Addleshaw Goddard and Pinsent Masons.

Aviva required firms to cut their standard rates by at least 15% to guarantee a place on the panel, and one firm is said to have reduced its fees by as much as 40%, according to the Lawyer.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
