Simmons & Simmons

Instructed by a variety of insurers across the TMT,  healthcare, and life sciences sectors, Simmons & Simmons represents clients in product recalls, adding to the firm’s strength in compliance. The practice is headed by experienced litigator James Pollock. David Kidman, who splits his time between London and Dubai, is a key figure in the team for regulatory advice mandates such as advising on food labelling laws and supply chain issues. Ingrid Hobbs draws strong praise from clients for her capabilities across product liability, product compliance, policy coverage, and product recall, particularly in the food & drink, automotive, and agrochemicals sectors. An 'exceptional coverage lawyer', Tim McCaw is noted for his specialism in pharmaceutical products and agrochemicals. Emma Spence in London is a standout name at associate level and works across a number of sectors, with a presence in the retail, food, electrical goods and construction industries. The 'hugely impressive' Rob Stevenson is also recommended, particularly for insurer and reinsurer work.
