Created and published by IRLA, the Insurance & Reinsurance Legacy Association, and its members, as an introduction to the Association, the purpose of and reasons for (re)insurance business transfers and the mechanisms and services that support them. The handbook also provides a precis of business operations, company finances, legal first principles and other matters of legacy interest in the early 2020s. It should be considered both a practical resource and a point of reference for those interested in the operation of the professional legacy market.

Each chapter is intended to give a precis of the matter at hand with suitable references for further research. The author and company of each of our contributions is stated and all have expressed a willingness, as members of IRLA, to take enquiries regarding their specialism, in support of our ambition to educate our members and strengthen our bonds as a market.

The handbook has been updated in August 2024 to ensure that the material remains up to date and that all our members have the opportunity to contribute their particular expertise within it. Order your copy today!
