Clyde & Co names new London-based professional liability partner

Clyde & Co has appointed professional liability expert Rob Crossingham as a London-based partner in its global insurance practice.

Crossingham has practised exclusively in the professional liability and financial lines fields since qualifying as a barrister in 2000. He has a particular expertise in policy coverage matters and joins Clyde & Co from Weightmans.

During his career, he has acted for professionals including solicitors, accountants, architects, surveyors and financial services professionals and pension trustees, as well as those in the tech, media and emerging professions.

Louisa Robbins, Clyde & Co partner, said: “We are in a prime position to expand our services and products in an ever-evolving professional indemnity market. The addition of Rob will really bolster our national offering in professional disputes, particularly for insurers and other innovative businesses in the insurance market.”

Last week, Clyde & Co announced that it will merge with UK insurance specialist BLM to create a law firm with global revenue of more than £700m per year. Clyde & Co said the merger will bolster its professional liability practice in the UK and other parts of the world.
