OUR SERVICES

What we do.

Public and Products Liability

From relatively straightforward negligent damage to third-party property to more complex products liability claims, involving contract, tort, and consumer law Eoin has many years of experience in successfully handling general liability claims.

Professional Indemnity

Professional Indemnity claims need careful handling by someone with specialist experience. Eoin has acted for Architects, Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants, Valuers, and Surveyors. He has also handled numerous claims for other professions including Real Estate Agents, Travel Agents, and Insurance Brokers.

Marine

Eoin sees Marine Insurance as the intersection between Insurance, International Trade, and International Transport. Successfully navigating a Marine claim requires a working knowledge of all three. Eoin has been both a Cargo Surveyor and a Maritime Lawyer.

Construction

Whether a section one contract works claim, a section two or standalone construction liability, or a professional indemnity claim associated with a design and build contract, these claims are rarely simple. A sound understanding of contract law is vital.

Property

Sometimes you need more than someone to project manage a repair or organise a replacement of plant. Where there are complex issues of policy interpretation or indemnity I can help simplify and resolve those issues. If it’s in your “too hard“ basket talk to Eoin about it.

ABOUT US

Giving good advice since 2016.

E S Lawless Ltd is the business vehicle for Eoin Lawless.

Eoin started this business because he regards Loss Adjusting as a profession, not a commodity. Eoin believes that professional service providers should be judged by the quality of their advice, that a good job is preferable to a quick job and the content of the advice is more important than the way it is delivered. As a small business Eoin can be flexible and responsive to your needs.

What he enjoys most about insurance is the variety of problems to solve and the number of different industries he works with.

Every business is different and every claim is unique. He approaches each claim as a set of problems to be solved in a real business setting; not just a process to be followed. Over the years he has invested a lot in continuing to develop his knowledge, experience, and skills, and he brings those to every claim he handles. When it comes to Loss Adjusting one size does not fit all.
