 Firm expands ProFin team with new partner in Birmingham

Keoghs is expanding its professional and financial risks (ProFin) team with the appointment of new partner Jo Lewis.

Jo, who will be in her new role from September, will be based in Birmingham, where she will lead and grow a new dedicated team.

Commenting on her appointment, Jo said: ‘Keoghs’ ProFin team has a great track record for growth and an excellent reputation for resolving professional indemnity claims and disputes quickly, and cost-effectively, with a strong emphasis on supporting clients to maintain their commercial relationships. I am thrilled to be working alongside such a strong team and to help grow the firm’s proposition in Birmingham.’
