Experience
Kate is a Senior Associate and Professional Support Lawyer, part of an experienced team supporting our Insurance lawyers and focused on communicating key legal developments, market trends and emerging issues as well as their impact on claims, to our legal advisers and clients.
The team publish a seasonal Insurance Brief along with regular updates on key case law and legislation. It also provides a horizon scanning service to clients to assist in predicting potential new areas for claims, claims spikes and increasing claims costs. Kate works across the board on the claims side of the Insurance sector, with a particular focus on Major Injury and Casualty. She is closely involved with the Areas of Core Excellence (“ACE”) Groups, supporting them in researching emerging risks, subsequent information gathering and then production and dissemination of advice (across various formats including articles, podcasts and training sessions) to legal advisors and clients alike.
Kate was part of the original team which founded DWF’s London office back in 2008. Prior to moving into knowledge management, Kate practised as a solicitor in DWF’s Catastrophic Injury team running a caseload of high value claims for a range of UK and European insurance clients. She worked with Graham Dickinson on one of the very first cases to be settled by way of Periodical Payments as well as working on some of the other biggest claims in the market at the time.
