DWF hires cat loss team from Greenwoods

Law firm DWF has lured a specialist catastrophic and large loss personal injury team from Greenwoods to bolster its 1000-strong national insurance practice.

The five-strong team, led by director Mike Guy and partner Claire Gribben, who held the role of partner and associate partner respectively while at Greenwoods, also includes senior solicitor Louise Neesham.

Guy has over 35 years’ experience in acting for insurers, advising on a range of high value personal injury, property, contractual and fire claims. For the past five years he has acted exclusively in catastrophic injury claims for leading motor insurers.

Gribben has over 11 years’ experience advising on claims which involve brain injury, amputations, spinal injury and fatal accidents. She also has in-depth knowledge of insurance litigation including employer’s liability, public liability, industrial disease and product liability claims.

Neesham specialises in defending catastrophic personal injury claims valued in excess of £1 million.

Glyn Jones, partner and head of catastrophic injury at DWF, said: “Mike and his team have a first class reputation for advising on complex and high-value cases and bring with them to DWF a number of significant client matters. Their specialist expertise in brain and spinal injury cases further strengthens our national catastrophic injury and large loss practice, enabling us to continue providing a high level of service to our insurer clients across the UK.”

These appointments follow the large scale lateral hire of a 47-strong 11-partner team from Greenwoods last year, which strengthened DWF’s catastrophic and large loss personal injury and non-injury expertise in Bristol, London, Manchester and Milton Keynes.
