HFW strengthens insurance practice with new partner in Houston
Law firm HFW has hired Amanda Kujda as a partner as it looks to beef up its global insurance practice.
Kujda is an insurance disputes expert and joins HFW's Houston office from Hall Maines Lugrin. She specialises in insurance disputes, including coverage litigation and subrogation, and complex commercial litigation involving breach of contract action and product liability.
She has also served as monitoring counsel for international and domestic excess carriers, with a particular focus on the energy and oil and gas sectors. She serves international and US insurers, underwriters and MGAs, including Lloyd's syndicates.
HFW's global re/insurance group now has 23 partners and 70 lawyers across offices in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, providing advisory, dispute resolution, transactional and regulatory legal services.
Jerry Kimmit, head of HFW’s Houston office, said Kujda’s "expertise really complements our existing team of coverage and defense counsel, and further strengthens our insurance claims litigation offering in the US."
Kujda said: "The size, breadth and international reach of HFW's insurance group gives me a great platform to grow my practice and to really elevate the service I'm able to offer to my clients."
HFW launched in Houston in 2017 via a fully-integrated merger with US law firm Legge, Farrow, Kimmitt, McGrath & Brown.
