Beale & Co—Claire Revell

Insurance partner joins professional negligence team in Bristol

Beale & Co has appointed experienced insurance lawyer Claire Revell to its partnership, bolstering its top-tier professional negligence team in Bristol. Claire joins from RPC, where she was a partner for over five years and a key figure in its insurance group.

Specialising in professional negligence since qualifying in 2008, Claire has built a strong reputation advising on claims involving legal and accountancy professionals. Her practice includes defence work, coverage, and regulatory advice, and she regularly acts for professional indemnity insurers on complex coverage matters.

Claire is known for her commercial approach and technical expertise across a broad range of disputes, from straightforward claims to high-value, multi-party litigation. Peter Sewell, partner and insurance lead at Beale & Co, said: 'Her extensive experience in defending complex PI claims, along with her deep understanding of insurance law, makes her an excellent fit for the firm.'

Commenting on her move, Claire said: 'I care deeply about achieving the best outcomes for our clients and the professionals involved, and I get that same sense of commitment from the team here. Beale & Co strikes a great balance between professionalism and approachability.'
