“Insurance is what makes the world go around”
“Insurance is what makes the world go around. It quietly underpins western economies and touches many daily events and news items. We are privileged to work with many of the biggest global players in this market.
I specialise in insurance and professional practices. My role is a global one that includes our Asia insurance team. I am also Chair of Global Access, which is a network of law firms with leading insurance practices across the globe, so I regularly attend global conferences.
Essentially, my role is about client management. I’m here to help clients solve their problems, and take a big interest in where clients are going, their ambitions for the future, and identifying new services and business lines we can support them with.
We’re here to connect people in the market, be that connecting clients with the right lawyer for the job, or making sure we mesh our brilliant legal capabilities with our clients' commercial needs.
This job is all about making myself available. I support others running day-to-day relationships, and enjoy the face-to-face engagement. I’m approachable, commercial, and get things done.”
