RLK Solicitors at the Midlands Hospitality Network Event: Helping Businesses Unlock BII Claims
RLK Solicitors was delighted to take part in the recent Midlands Hospitality Network event, hosted at University College Birmingham. The event brought together hospitality leaders, business owners, and sector experts to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the industry in 2025.
Our Director and Head of Business Interruption Insurance (BII) Claims, Chris Guy, delivered a session tackling one of the most pressing issues still facing the hospitality sector: unresolved COVID-19 BII claims.
“Far too many businesses have walked away from claims that could have provided vital financial lifelines. A rejection from your insurer doesn’t always mean the end of the road.” – Chris Guy, RLK Solicitors
Key Insights from the Session
Chris addressed the critical questions that hospitality businesses must act on now:
Our Track Record
RLK is the UK’s leading firm for COVID-19 BII claims, with a proven track record of recovering millions in settlements for clients across hospitality, leisure, and retail. We continue to support businesses across the West Midlands and nationwide in unlocking payments that insurers initially denied.
Act Now – December 2025 is Critical
The clock is ticking. To properly investigate and progress claims before the March 2026 statute bar, businesses need to seek advice no later than December 23, 2025. Leaving it later risks running out of time.
“We are urging every hospitality business not to assume a rejection is final. If you think your claim has no prospects, speak to us first – we may be able to recover more than you realise.” Chris Guy, RLK Solicitors
