Brewer, a general commercial and property litigator, joins Kennedys from Wollastons in Chelmsford. He will be based in Brentwood, Essex.

The total number of partners at the firm is now 58.

Kennedys, which specialises in insurance and reinsurance dispute resolution, has five UK offices. Other offices are situated in Hong Kong, Auckland and New Delhi.
