Global law firm Clyde & Co has today announced the hire of Jane Williams as London-based partner in the firm’s pre-eminent UK Professional and Financial Disputes (PFD) group.
Jane joins from Womble Bond Dickinson where she specialises in the defence of professional negligence claims. She defends claims for a wide range of non-construction professionals and their insurers and also gives related coverage advice.
Jane, who qualified as a barrister before becoming a solicitor in 2001, has over 17 years’ experience in the professional indemnity market, which includes a year on secondment at a major insurer. Before joining Womble Bond Dickinson she was a partner at Kennedys.
Andrew Blair, Partner in Clyde & Co’s PFD group, comments: “We’re delighted to be further strengthening our UK-wide PFD practice with the hire of a very experienced and well regarded lawyer in the insurance space. Jane works for some of the world’s biggest insurers and her work dovetails very well with our existing team.”
In November 2017 Clyde & Co announced the hiring of PFD partner Ian Peacock from Womble Bond Dickinson and the launch of an office in Bristol, where Ian will be based.
Clyde & Co’s PFD group comprises over 150 lawyers in the UK and its professional liability practice has a long established reputation as a leading advisor on policy coverage, defending claims and regulatory proceedings, focusing on each of the major professions, as well as ’emerging professions’ such as recruitment, management consultants and IT professionals. The group operates across all Clyde & Co’s offices worldwide, with specialist professional liability teams in key jurisdictions.
