Birmingham broker targets lawyers

Bisma Mahmood

Birmingham insurance broker Jobson James has hired Bisma Mahmood to head up a new legal indemnities practice. 

Mahmood will focus on helping real estate lawyers and teams within law firms across the whole of the UK, alongside its existing real estate team.

She most recently worked at Towergate. 

Mahmood said: “This is a really exciting move for me. Jobson James is now one of a handful of chartered insurance brokers outside of London to offer this niche area of expertise, and it illustrates its ambition to grow the business.”

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.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
