Keoghs is expanding its professional and financial risks (ProFin) team with the appointment of new partner, Jo Lewis.
With over 14 years’ experience acting for insurers and their insureds in a wide variety of claims, including multi-million pound, cross-jurisdictional disputes, Jo’s expertise includes defending professional negligence claims against solicitors, construction professionals, property professionals, insolvency practitioners and accountants.
Jo, who will be in her new role from September, will be based in Birmingham, where she will lead and grow a new dedicated team enhancing Keoghs’ existing regional capability. Since 2017, the Keoghs ProFin team has grown by over 50 percent and has a presence in London and Liverpool, with Birmingham soon to be the third location for the team as well as a completely new office for Keoghs as a whole.
Commenting on her appointment, Jo said: “Keoghs’ ProFin team has a great track record for growth and an excellent reputation for resolving professional indemnity claims and disputes quickly, and cost-effectively, with a strong emphasis on supporting clients to maintain their commercial relationships. I am thrilled to be working alongside such a strong team and to help grow the firm’s proposition in Birmingham.”
Partner Dragos Stoica added: “We have experienced substantial growth in the ProFin team in recent years and we are delighted that with our clients’ continuing support we are able to expand in Birmingham. Growing our overall Profin offering is a crucial part of our team’s growth plan.
“We are very pleased to welcome Jo to the team. We have no doubt that her extensive experience will be invaluable to our clients, and I look forward to working with her to make our ProFin offering in Birmingham a great success.”
