BLM—Matthew Harrington

Senior partner re-elected for second term

Insurance risk and commercial law firm BLM has re-elected Matthew Harrington as its senior partner for a second three-year term.

Serving as senior partner since 1 March 2018, Matthew will formally commence his second term from 1 March 2021, working alongside managing partner Vivienne Williams, who was re-elected in July 2020 for a further three years. Matthew joined BLM in 2007 and became a part of the senior leadership team in 2014.

Commenting on his re-election, Matthew said: ‘It has been an absolute privilege to lead BLM over the last three years. In the midst of all the challenges of the past year, many positives have emerged, principal amongst which has been the way our colleagues have supported each other, backed our vision and embraced change. Their dedication and professionalism has meant we have continued to win new work from new and existing clients and that we have become a truly digital first firm; a key element of our strategy for the last three years.’
