Fenchurch Law expands broker claims support with launch of dedicated advisory service and new regional base

Fenchurch Law, the leading UK firm working exclusively for policyholders and brokers on insurance coverage disputes, has expanded its portfolio with the launch a new dedicated claims advocacy service for brokers and opened a new office in Leeds to bolster its presence in the North of England.

The Fenchurch Advocacy Services provides brokers and their clients with access to experienced and qualified professional support, advice and assistance on claims-related issues for a fixed monthly fee. The service complements the firm’s legal services in claims and wordings disputes.

Launched in response to a growing demand from brokers for broader claims support, Fenchurch Advocacy Services will enable regional and smaller UK brokers to access the high quality, specialist claims advocacy, that larger and national brokers already provide their clients.   

The service is led by Phil Taylor who has joined Fenchurch Law after 15 years as Regional Claims Director at Jelf (now Marsh Commercial) where he dealt with a wide portfolio of clients in relation to major and complex losses, and coverage disputes on first and third party claims. Phil has 35 years of experience in the insurance industry including a background in liability loss adjusting specialising in employers and public liability and products and professional indemnity claims.

David Pryce, Fenchurch Law’s Managing Partner, said: “The launch of our advocacy service builds on the valuable legal support we offer brokers and their clients in claims disputes. In attracting Phil to the team, we can now offer brokers strong, multidisciplinary claims support covering legal and non-legal issues. Many brokers are unable to access the wider claims services that the larger national brokers deliver to their clients. As a firm our purpose is to help level the playing field between policyholders and their insurers, and the launch of Fenchurch Advocacy Services is an important milestone in that journey.”

The launch coincides with an expansion of the firm regional and the opening of a new office in Leeds. The new office is headed by senior associate Daniel Robin and will enable the firm to offer improved access to its claims and wordings disputes support across a range of business classes for brokers in the North of England.
