Law firm DWF has cuts 26 jobs at its Liverpool office.

The insurance law firm’s boss, chief executive Andrew Leaitherland, blamed the reduction in fraud cases since the law reforms.

Chief exeuctive Leaitherland said all insurance law firms have had declining motor fraud instructions since the introduction of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act in April 2013.

He said: “Combined with efficiencies we’ve generated through centralisation and IT investments, this has meant that less admin support is required in our Liverpool fraud, intel and motor teams.”

Roles cut include 15 secretary roles, six solicitors, four paralegals and one analyst.

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.
