Kennedys recruit trio

New hires bolster Kennedys’ PI team in Birmingham
 

Kennedys has added to its team of professional indemnity specialists across the UK with three new recruits for its Birmigham office.

Alison Siniver, a highly experienced professional indemnity lawyer with substantial experience representing insurers and professionals, joins Kennedys as a senior solicitor after 13 years at Browne Jacobson. She focuses primarily on claims against accountants, solicitors, barristers and insurance brokers.

Alison will soon be joined by Joanne Lewis, who will arrive from Browne Jacobson, and Emily Huva, who is qualifying at Kennedys. These recruits take the professional indemnity team to 11 lawyers, making it one of the largest in Birmingham.

Kennedys now has one of the largest professional indemnity teams in the UK, with a 107 strong team acting for more than 50 insurers.
