DWF bolsters insurance division with new partner hire
Global insurance-focused law firm DWF has expanded its insurance division with the appointment of a new partner, who joins from DLA Piper.
Andrew Symons joins the DWF London global risks team following 11 years at DLA Piper. He will primarily focus on financial lines insurance claims and reinsurance. Furthermore, Symons will represent insurers in professional indemnity and management liability and in more specialist areas of warranty, indemnity, cyber, and reinsurance, advising clients on coverage and disputes.
Symons has over 30 years' experience advising clients on cutting-edge disputes and case law in dispute resolution, litigation, and arbitration.
David Abbott, senior partner of DWF's insurance services business and head of global risks, said: "Andrew is an outstanding and respected lawyer in the insurance industry, and we're thrilled to have him join our team. His experience will be an enormous asset as we continue to grow our Global Risks team and international insurance and reinsurance practice, which has seen several new hires, particularly in Dubai, already this year."
Symons added: "Over the past few years, DWF has ambitiously committed to investing in its insurance team, and the results of that are apparent. This is an exciting opportunity to join an industry-leading business, and I'm delighted to be a part of its growth and contribute to its global insurance platform."
