The global risks team at DWF continues to grow with the April 2024 additions of onshore and offshore specialists Gary Walkling from RPC and Franco D’Andrea from Clyde & Co, following the September 2023 arrival of reinsurance expert Andrew Symons from DLA Piper. The team covers an array of issues, including energy, product liability, political risk, trade credit, Bermuda Form and property claims, and has been especially active in reinsurance cases, including handling reinsurance arbitrations relating to Covid-19 as well as litigation stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Practice head David Abbott specialises in advising insurers on trade credit and political risk matters, as well as onshore energy insurance. Kiran Soar handles property insurance and reinsurance, John Groome focuses on casualty and property claims, and Antony Woodhouse is the go-to for Bermuda Form issues. For marine and commodity matters, Jonathan Moss is the name to note, while Tom Mungovan excels in policy coverage disputes for insurers and Lloyd’s of London syndicates.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Fantastic insurance team at DWF. Across the board the team at DWF are extremely knowledgeable and have the ability to instinctively understand exactly what their insurer clients need. The team at DWF can take on complex disputes (defence or coverage) and have a wealth of knowledge within the team to analyse all areas of the dispute, be that regulatory issues, disputing experts' assessment of loss, or policy wording terms.’

  • ‘One standout partner is Tom Mungovan. Tom has a rare combination of being an excellent lawyer with outstanding knowledge in his field but with the ability to bring parties together who are locked in dispute. He brings an energy to his work which makes him a pleasure to work with. He clearly inspires his team to work at his high standards but he does so in a way that encourages and supports them.'
