New Partner for DWF’s insurance team
4/14/2010
Leading law firm DWF has boosted its commercial insurance team to further strengthen its position in the insurance market.
Julie Bowker is the latest new partner to be appointed to the 50-strong commercial insurance team in Manchester headed by Kieran Walshe and joins from Halliwells, where she was noted in the 2009 edition of Legal 500 as being the lead partner for Professional negligence work.
Speaking about her move, Julie said: "This is a really exciting opportunity for me to build on DWF's existing insurance client base both in relation to professional liability and general commercial insurance.
"Everyone in this sector knows about DWF's success in the insurance market and the impressive list of clients speaks for itself."
Head of insurance Paul Berry said: "We are continuing to attract senior partners from our competitors as they recognise our continued growth in this sector.
"We work with most of the UK's leading insurers and it's important we get people with the knowledge and expertise to drive the business forward."
Julie is a member of the Professional Negligence Lawyers' Association.
