Cain Jackson
Work Department
Clients + Markets
Position
Cain is the Managing Partner of Clients + Markets. He has a particular focus on high value, complex D&O, professional indemnity and financial institutions coverage and defence work. Large multi-national insurers, the Lloyd’s insurance market and ASX-listed financial services groups engage Cain for his concise, commercial and strategic advice.
He has been described by industry commentators as “one of the most impressive people” operating within the insurance industry who also praise the way he handles D&O, liability and professional indemnity issues and his “huge involvement in class action matters.”
Cain has acted in many high-profile class actions, including TPT v Myer, the first securities class action to run to judgement in Australia. He is currently retained by primary insurers to advise on some of Australia’s largest securities class actions as well as acting in a defence or coverage role in numerous high-profile directors and officers and professional indemnity claims.

Australia > Insurance
(Leading individuals)Wotton + Kearney is recommended for general liability, financial lines and complex property, energy and construction claims. It’s also growing its capabilities in cyber insurance, general liability and class actions with the recruitment of Amanda Beattie (from King & Wood Mallesons) and Cheryl Phillips (from Minter Ellison), both in early 2023. Name partner and chief executive David Kearney and Cain Jackson, who is head of financial lines, are the group’s key senior partners. Andrew Moore is an expert in D&O and financial institution claims, management liability issues and environment claims. Charles Simon is well placed to advise on catastrophic losses, and building and construction-related incidents, as is Adam Chylek for indemnity disputes.
