“My clients value my ability to get to the nub of an issue”
“My international experience shapes the work that I do for clients whether it’s a hurricane loss, a multi-jurisdictional Covid BI dispute, or a follow-on damages claim.
I bring technical excellence, business acumen, and strategic thinking coupled with a pro-active and solution-focused approach to every client matter. In turn, my clients value my ability to get to the nub of an issue, provide clear advice and recommendations, and deliver results.
How do we approach client relationships? We’re always listening and learning, we’re responsive, and we deliver successful outcomes by keeping clients’ business needs at the forefront of everything we do as a team and a firm.”
Catherine’s recent work highlights:
Assisting insurers and reinsurers with their response to Covid BI losses and has been involved in key industry wide policy interpretation issues such as causation and aggregation, making their way through the UK Courts and in many other common law jurisdictions globally.
Defending building owners or occupiers for property and construction losses following significant fire, flood, explosion, or landslip events.
Representing health service providers in the UK in connection with the pursuit of a number of separate competition litigation and other damages claims.
