Bio:
Keith Bethlehem leads the complex coverage team at Colin Biggers & Paisley, with a focus on financial institutions and D&O insurance. Keith has a reputation for pragmatic and industry-aware advice. He has been ranked in Chambers as a leading insurance lawyer since 2014. In the 2022 edition, a client notes that Keith "is quick to identify issues of contention and obstacles in the resolution of claims and seeks to circumvent the adversarial nature of coverage disputes". Keith is an accomplished litigator. Keith conducted the seminal case on the operation of claims made policies under Australian Law, Chubb & Others v Moore & Others. In 2021, Keith represented London market insurers that resisted joinder under the newly enacted Third Party Rights Against Insurers Act, the first case in which Insurers successfully opposed joinder on discretionary grounds. Keith has a market leading role in relation to the series of class action against major banks and financial institutions arising from the Financial Services Royal Commission, and acts as coverage and monitoring counsel in relation to numerous Securities Class Actions. He acted for the co-primary insurers that supported the successful defence in the precedent setting Iluka proceedings.
