Business law firm, DWF, and leading professional indemnity practice, Fishburns LLP, have completed their merger
As of 1 February 2013, Fishburns became fully incorporated into DWF. As well as supporting DWF’s ambitious growth plans to become a top 20 law firm, Fishburns’ strength in the insurance market means this latest merger adds weight to the firm’s goal of becoming a top three insurance law firm. The firm now has over 2,000 people working from 13 offices throughout the UK and Ireland. Andrew Leaitherland, managing partner and CEO of DWF, said: “This merger further cements our position in the insurance market and will support our endeavours to continue attracting the best talent. Most importantly, Fishburns’ professional indemnity experience enables us to raise the bar around client services, allowing us to anticipate client needs and to deliver commercial solutions.”
