International law firm Pinsent Masons has strengthened its insurance practice in the City with the appointment of a new head of insurance, Nick Bradley.

Bradley’s arrival from Lawrence Graham follows a successful period for Pinsent Masons’ insurance sector in which grew by 20% during the last year.  

Bradley has been involved in many of the major market re/insurance disputes over the last two decades, and is known and respected for his handling of complex heavyweight disputes, often with an international and multi-jurisdictional aspect. 

Pinsent Masons’ head of financial services sector John Salmon said: “Our continued investment in the insurance sector is reaping rewards. While we are happy with our performance last year, we are also excited about the prospects for further growth. Nick’s arrival underlines this; the enhanced expertise that he brings ensures that we have a full service insurance team which will sit at the heart of our insurance sector proposition.”

Pinsent Masons’ managing partner David Ryan said: “We are delighted that our insurance practice is going from strength to strength. Our commercial and contentious insurance advisory service is continuing to gather pace in the City.”
