Welcome to the Spring UK regional newsletter
I n March we announced that the firm will be merging with BLM, a UK based insurance focused firm which specialises in casualty, healthcare and regional professional lines defence. The merger is all about meeting our strategic objectives of building and maintaining market leadership positions in our chosen sectors, in this case insurance. You will, I hope, have had a chance to join one of the webinars explaining the merger and updating you on the integration. You can find more details in this newsletter, including a Q&A with Matthew Harrington, BLM’s Senior Partner. This is a really positive move for both firms as we build a market leading casualty insurance practice and compete in what is a very dynamic part of the market. We are excited to welcome our new colleagues when the merger goes live on 1 July and I would like to thank all the teams and individuals across the firm who are working so hard to get ready for go live and the integration process that will stretch many months into the future.
As we head into the summer months we can reflect on what we’ve achieved so far. Not only have we continued to win and service mandates across our practices but we also announced and started work on the second biggest UK law firm merger in history.
We recently announced our annual promotions to the Partnership and to Legal Director. It is fantastic to have such large cohorts for both sets of promotions, globally and in the UK, and on behalf of the UK Board I would like to congratulate all those promoted. You can read more about our new Partners and Legal Directors in this newsletter. This newsletter also shares our progress against our strategic priorities this calendar year, along with news from across our region and upcoming activities and initiatives. You will find details about a range of Corporate Responsibility & Inclusion initiatives which have taken place, including the recent launch of the wellbeing app Champion Health. You can also read about the launch of our Clyde+ Information Hub, find details about our recent client and panel wins and read some of the feedback we have received from clients.
