Together the team brings extensive experience in liability defence, catastrophic injury, travel litigation, regulatory matters and crisis management.

Commenting on the appointments, Claire Bowler, Head of Major Injury and Casualty at DWF, said: “We are thrilled to welcome this exceptional group of partners and colleagues to our practice. Their collective knowledge and skills, together with their proven track record of advising leading insurers and corporates, represents a major step forward in the growth of our team.”

Matthew Doughty, Group CEO and CEO of DWF’s Insurance Services division, added: “The arrival of these 27 colleagues marks a significant expansion of our Major Injury and Casualty practice. The breadth and calibre of this intake is outstanding and reinforces our position as a leading provider of legal and business services to the insurance industry. We are delighted to welcome them all to DWF.”

A fifth partner, Victoria Kennedy, will join DWF’s Major Injury and Casualty practice in early October from DAC Beachcroft.

DWF’s global Insurance Services division is home to around 2,000 colleagues and is one of the world’s leading providers of integrated legal and business services to the insurance sector.
