stuart_high_res_img_1320_3

Insurance & reinsurance disputes expert joins firm

Keystone Law has announced the arrival of insurance and reinsurance disputes expert Stuart Hill from Hogan Lovells, where he was a partner for 12 years.

An established practitioner with over twenty years’ experience, Stuart’s expertise spans an array of coverage disputes. His current practice centres around the insured—with a distinct focus on errors and omissions, directors’ and officers’ liability and crime cover, particularly for financial institutions. However, he has drafted and litigated most forms of commercial insurance policies. 

Stuart has an impressive track record in delivering claims advice that gets claims paid without resorting to dispute resolution procedures but, where necessary, he can bring to bear his extensive experience of mediation, arbitration and litigation. 

Managing director of Keystone Law, James Knight, comments: “Stuart’s arrival is a real feather to our cap. Our dispute resolution offering has grown to include some serious industry contenders and, totalling around 40 lawyers, it is now the firm’s largest team.”

Nominations for the Halsbury Legal Awards 2015, in association with NLJ, are now open. Visit the site to view all the categories and enter online. #Halsbury2015
