We also support clients involved in regulatory investigations by the FRC, ICAEW and FCA. Our focus is always on achieving the best outcome possible for the client. The team has grown rapidly in recent years and consists of 2 partners, 2 legal directors and approximately 10 other lawyers who regularly work in the area.

Able to deal confidently and professionally with insured and insurer clients on day to day issues. Able to operate with a high level of self-sufficiency, combined with an awareness of the boundaries of own competence/authority. A demonstrable ability to adopt a client-focused and commercial perspective rather than an 'academic' approach to legal issues, coupled with a keen grasp of legal issues as they arise. Change oriented with a positive, flexible approach towards the implementation of new initiatives. Team oriented and collegiate with a willingness to share knowledge with and support other members of the team. Willingness to work hard as part of a highly ambitious and driven team to help it continue to develop and to achieve its objectives.
