Fenchurch Law, a City of London law firm specialising in insurance coverage disputes, has announced the appointment of Joanna Grant as Managing Partner, making Fenchurch Law one of the few female-led law firms in the UK.
David Pryce, founder and former Managing Partner, will take on a new Senior Partner role. Daniel Robin will step into the role of Deputy Managing Partner, supporting and overseeing Fenchurch Law’s continued growth strategy in the UK market.
Pryce, Senior Partner at Fenchurch Law, commented: “It’s a hugely exciting time for Fenchurch Law, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved since our inception in 2010.
“I’m absolutely delighted that Joanna and Daniel will be leading the firm into its next stage of growth, as we look to expand our footprint even further.”
New Managing Partner Grant has been with the firms since 2016, when she joined as a Partner. Since then, she has led Fenchurch Law’s expert Construction and Property Risks team, advising clients on some of the most high-profile commercial insurance disputes in the UK.
She steps into her new role following the 14-year tenure of founder and predecessor David Pryce, who now takes up the role of Senior Partner and will oversee the firm’s global expansion strategy, starting with the opening of its recently-announced Singapore office later this year.
“These leadership changes signify an exciting growth milestone for the firm, which has represented clients in some of the most high-profile and complex policy disputes in recent years, including Stonegate Pub Company’s Covid-19 Business Interruption (BI) claim, which remains the highest-value Covid-19-related BI claim to pass through the English courts,” a Fenchurch Law spokesperson stated.
