DWF appoints counter fraud head
UK law firm DWF has appointed partner Lorraine Carolan as the firm's national head of counter fraud.
Carolan joins DWF from law firm DAC Beachcroft, where she served as head of its national claims validation team.
She will begin her role at DWF in August, 2015, where she will work within the firm’s 900-strong national insurance team.
Paul Berry, DWF’s head of insurance, said: "Lorraine brings outstanding fraud and intelligence expertise and a strong track record of leadership that will allow us to further invest in and develop our team, expand our fraud capability and strengthen relationships with existing and potential clients.
“Her innovative approach to helping clients combat fraud and address business challenges through the delivery of comprehensive legal and intelligence services, and the development of a range of fraud products, is a strong match for DWF and our commitment to delivering added value to our clients."
Carolan said: "There are a number of opportunities available to pursue within the fraud market, and DWF's investment in their systems and intelligence provide a strong platform on which to explore these opportunities and deliver improved legal services to clients.
“DWF's commitment to innovation is a key differentiator in this market and I look forward to working with the team to further raise profile, increase engagement with clients and expand the firm's fraud and intelligence offerings across the business."
Carolan’s appointment follows DWF’s recent merger with niche insurance practice Watmores.
