Fenchurch Law bolsters insurance disputes team with three new hires

Fenchurch Law, the UK-based firm that works exclusively for policyholders and brokers on complex insurance disputes, has expanded its team in London with three new hires for its coverage disputes team.

Michael Robin (Pictured Left) joins as partner, bringing with him over 25 years’ experience in handling complex claims across the international insurance market. Robin joins Fenchurch Law from global legal services firm DWF, where he was partner in the professional liability and commercial insurance disputes team, and is known in the insurance market as a founding partner of Robin Simon.

Dru Corfield (Pictured Center) joins as an associate solicitor from Elborne Mitchell, where he was a trainee solicitor.

Finally, Grace Williams (Pictured Right) also joins as an associate solicitor, from New Zealand law firm Robertsons, where she specialised in insurance litigation. Prior to that, Williams began her career at law firm Russel McVeagh as an associate.

The new appointments aim to bolster the firm’s insurance disputes team, which was set up to help level the playing field between policyholders and their insurers, when coverage disputes arise.

David Pryce commented: “The demand for policyholder-focused insurance disputes specialists is growing all the time. We intend to continue investing in our team in order to continue to help policyholders challenge their insurers on a level playing field, when they feel their insurance claims have been incorrectly turned down, and Michael, Grace, and Dru are exciting additions to our market leading team.”

Robin said: “I’m delighted to be joining such an exciting, growing team of insurance dispute experts at Fenchurch Law. I look forward to applying my in-depth knowledge of the global insurance market to helping support policyholders across the UK and internationally.”

Corfield added: “I was attracted to Fenchurch Law because of the size, purpose and direction of the business. Despite being a fairly young firm, it has quickly established a very strong reputation within the insurance market for first-rate protection of policyholders’ interests. Fenchurch Law’s core values were also an important draw for me, its entrepreneurial culture is one in which colleagues are empowered to think outside the box to get the best possible results for their clients.”

Williams commented: “I wanted to work at a firm which focused solely on insurance law. I am excited to work alongside solicitors that are experts in their field and to assist policyholders with coverage disputes.”
