Firm appoints partner

Horwich Farrelly has appointed a new partner, Martin McKenna, an expert in complex and high value personal injury claims in liability and motor. Joining from Keoghs, Martin brings more than 20 years’ legal and technical experience to Horwich Farrelly where he will be primarily focused on developing the firm’s defendant capabilities.

Martin has considerable operational experience, and seeks to further expand his understanding of the insurance industry and the fast-paced, rapidly changing environment in which insureds operate. He has also studied towards and completed an MBA, giving him a breadth of understanding of the insurance market which exceeds that what might be expected of a full-time solicitor.

Rob Barrett, managing partner for Horwich Farrelly, said of Martin’s appointment: “We are delighted to have Martin join the team, underpinning the continuing growth of our business. He is passionate about the quality of service provided to clients, and always endeavours to ensure the client remains at the heart of the claims process at all times. Martin is a natural fit for Horwich Farrelly, as he always seeks innovative solutions to any challenge, as well as having extensive industry knowledge and being a friendly and approachable colleague.”
