Standard Club appoints new head of New York office

Mutual insurance association The Standard Club has appointed Leanne O’Loughlin president/regional director of Charles Taylor P&I Management (Americas), succeeding LeRoy Lambert, who has assumed the role of general counsel.

Leanne joined The Standard Club’s London office in 2010, before transferring to the New York office in 2013. She began her legal career as a commercial and civil solicitor.

LeRoy joined The Standard Club in 2009 after 25 years in private practice, latterly as a partner with Blank Rome. He has vast experience in all areas of maritime law, including US Jones Act and charterparty and bill of lading disputes. Lambert is the first general counsel to be appointed to the New York office, and will enhance the club’s in-house capabilities, particularly with regard to the management of complex US claims and dispute resolution.

Lambert said: “This is a great move for all concerned and demonstrates the club’s long-term commitment to the Americas. I look forward very much to refocusing my time and energy on claims and supporting Leanne and the New York team in my new role.”

Eddy Morland, head of the Club’s UK & Americas division, said: “The United States and Canada are key areas for The Standard Club, these appointments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the region and will enable the team to offer a more specific in house legal and dispute resolution service.”
