Fenchurch Law—leadership changes

Fenchurch Law has announced that Joanna Grant (pictured centre) has been appointed managing partner of the firm, with predecessor and founder David Pryce (pictured left) taking on a new senior partner role, leading the firm’s expansion into Singapore. In addition, Daniel Robin (pictured right) steps into the role of deputy managing partner.

Joanna joined Fenchurch Law as partner in 2016 and has since led the firm’s expert construction and property risks team, advising clients on some of the most high-profile commercial insurance disputes in the UK. Her appointment makes Fenchurch Law one of the few female-led law firms in the UK.

She takes on the role of managing partner following the 14-year tenure of founder David. David will now oversee the firm’s global expansion strategy, starting with the opening of its recently announced Singapore office later this year.

Joining Joanna on the firm’s senior management team is the head of the firm’s Leeds office, Daniel, who will support and oversee the firm’s continued growth strategy in the UK market.

The firm has recently transitioned to an employee-owned business model through the launch of an employee ownership trust (EOT), which saw 60% of its shares awarded to its people.

David 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.’

Joanna added: ‘I’m delighted to be leading the charge for Fenchurch Law in its ongoing mission to level the playing field for policyholders, with a particular focus on complex and high value coverage disputes in the UK.’

Daniel added: ‘I’m very proud to be able to support the further growth of Fenchurch Law and give even more policyholders in the UK access to the wealth of expertise we have across the team.’
