Financial Institutions

The liability of actors in the banking and financial professions is regularly sought for issues such as failing to inform, advise, or caution, mismanagement, debtor-in-possession financing (soutien abusif) in France, etc. This phenomenon, favoured by a complex and changing regulatory environment, is a growing problem spurred by the economic and financial crisis.

As a result of, for example, an IT incident or a fire, a bank may also suffer a temporary interruption or degradation of service and experience a loss of banking activity.

To handle these types of claims, insurers and their policyholders must be able to count on loss assessors with expertise in the different areas of banking and applicable regulations, who are capable of analysing the inner workings of financial products and calculating bank losses. Our experts’ experience working for large banking groups gives them unique insight into this sector’s issues.

OUR LOSS ADJUSTERS

Lenka CERMANOVA

Loss adjuster

When I arrived in France from the Czech Republic in 2007, I started studying international business, specialising in audit and inspection. For five years I put my knowledge to use in the banking sector, working as a comptroller and then as an internal auditor for the French and European branches.
With my knowledge of banking processes, bank financing methods, and banks' public liability, in 2015 I joined GM Consultant as a loss adjuster for financial risks, specialising in commercial and banking fraud. I speak four languages, which enables me to process a variety of French and international claims with rigour and diplomacy.
