⚖️ What Is Unified Insurance Law No. 155 of 2024?

Law No. 155 of 2024 Issuing the Unified Insurance Law was introduced to establish a more comprehensive framework for regulating the insurance industry in Egypt.

The law regulates insurance and reinsurance activities and related services, professions, and businesses, while establishing a framework for licensing, supervision, and oversight of entities operating in the sector.

The law is also part of the broader development of the insurance industry, with greater attention to governance, consumer protection, and the expansion of insurance services.

🏢 Who Is Subject to the Unified Insurance Law?

The law does not apply only to traditional insurance companies. It also covers a range of entities and activities connected to the insurance sector.

These include:

• Insurance companies.
• Reinsurance companies.
• Insurance and reinsurance brokerage companies.
• Entities involved in inspection and damage assessment.
• Insurance experts and consultants.
• Entities connected to insurance-based healthcare programs.
• Other insurance-related professions and activities regulated by the law.

Legal requirements may vary depending on the nature of each activity, making it important to review the legal status of each company or entity individually.

🔍 Why Is the Unified Insurance Law Important for Insurance Companies?

The law provides a more structured legal framework for the insurance sector and addresses areas related to licensing, supervision, governance, financial solvency, disclosure, and policyholder protection.

For companies operating in the sector, understanding these legal and regulatory requirements can help them manage their obligations more effectively, particularly regarding licensing, business operations, and regulatory compliance.

📋 Compliance and Adjustment of Insurance Companies' Status

One of the important practical issues for entities operating in the insurance sector is adjusting their status to comply with the Unified Insurance Law.

This process involves reviewing the company's legal position and assessing whether its activities, procedures, and organizational structure comply with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The required procedures may differ depending on the nature of the business, its legal structure, and the activities it conducts.

For this reason, reviewing the company's legal and regulatory position at an early stage can help identify areas that may require adjustment or updating.

🛡️ Protecting Insurance Policyholders

An important aspect of insurance regulation is protecting the rights of policyholders, beneficiaries, and other parties dealing with insurance companies.

Disputes may arise in different forms, including disagreements regarding the implementation of an insurance policy, rejection of a claim, disputes over compensation amounts, or uncertainty concerning certain coverage terms.

In such situations, it is important to review the policy, relevant documents, and correspondence before determining the appropriate legal action.

📑 What Should Be Reviewed in an Insurance Dispute?

When a dispute arises with an insurance company, general information alone is not enough. The specific policy and circumstances of the case need to be examined.

A legal review may include:

Insurance Policy Terms

Understanding the scope of coverage, exclusions, and specific conditions of the policy.

Compensation Amount

Reviewing the applicable amounts, coverage limits, and the method of calculating compensation under the policy.

Required Documents

Determining which documents have already been submitted and whether additional documents may be required to support the claim.

Insurance Company's Position

Understanding the reasons for accepting, rejecting, or requesting additional documentation for the claim.

Legal Procedures

Identifying the possible steps based on the nature of the dispute and the stage the matter has reached.

Seeking legal advice at an early stage may help clarify the legal position before taking steps that could affect rights or obligations.

💻 Insurance and Digital Transformation

The insurance sector is experiencing increasing use of technology and digital transformation, creating new insurance services and different ways of reaching customers and managing operations.

This development also creates legal and regulatory considerations involving licensing, procedures, data protection, and compliance with the rules governing insurance activities.

Companies using digital solutions to provide insurance-related services may therefore need to review their legal and regulatory obligations according to the nature of their activities.

📊 Microinsurance

The new legislative framework also addresses microinsurance, with the aim of expanding insurance services and reaching broader segments of society.

Microinsurance is one of the areas that can contribute to increasing insurance inclusion, subject to specific rules and requirements concerning products, entities, and the methods used to provide these services.

🧑‍⚖️ What Is the Role of a Lawyer in Insurance Matters?

A lawyer's role in insurance matters is not limited to disputes before competent authorities or courts. Legal assistance may begin before a dispute even arises.

Legal services may include:

• Reviewing insurance contracts and policies.
• Examining correspondence and insurance claims.
• Reviewing documents related to a dispute.
• Analyzing the legal position of the parties.
• Explaining legal rights and obligations.
• Assessing appropriate legal procedures.
