BLP poaches Clyde & Co partner

Law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) has appointed Geraldine Quirk as a partner in its insurance practice as it seeks to enhance its non-contentious insurance and financial services regulatory expertise.

She joins the firm from law firm Clyde & Co, where she served as a partner within the corporate insurance team.

Jonathan Sacher, head of insurance at BLP, said: “Gerry is a market leader within the sector in a number of specialist areas, particularly insurance transfers, and her appointment will play a key role helping us broaden the scope of our capabilities in this field.

“Her sector experience and reputation will be invaluable in ensuring that we can offer our clients advice across a full range of legal issues relevant to their business.”

Quirk added: “The move to BLP will allow me to play a significant role in growing the firm’s already market-leading insurance practice. I will look to use my experience and contacts to help strengthen relationships with existing London market and international insurers.

“Given the focus and pressures clients are currently experiencing in regulation, I am looking forward to working with a market-leading regulatory practice and expanding my work in this area.”
