The Forum of Insurance Lawyers (FOIL) has elected a senior partner from law firm Crutes as president.

Tim Wallis, who has been with Crutes since 1976, was previously FOIL's vice-president. At present, Wallis is a member of The Civil Justice Council's Funding and ADR subcommittees and of the Law Society's ADR working party.

He is a former member of The Civil Justice Council and the Law Society's Litigation Committee.

Wallis specialises in civil litigation, particularly personal injury litigation, as well as professional indemnity, employment and commercial litigation.

FOIL was established in 1992 by a group of insurance solicitors to provide a platform for lawyers acting on behalf of insurance companies.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
