Keoghs has announced it has bolstered its credit hire offering with the recruitment of a new partner and team from Plexus Law.

She has worked on some of the most high-profile cases including Zakir Ali v Spirit International, Pattni v First Leicester Buses and Kadir v Thompson.

In addition, Anne will bring with her a team of five lawyers who will all sit within the Keoghs’ Tactical Credit Hire division, led by partner, Gary Herring, further strengthening and expanding the firm’s market-leading niche strategic offering which targets errant opponent behaviour with pioneering strategic initiatives designed to change behaviour for the long term. Since its inception in 2019 the division has seen exponential growth and it now acts for 15 insurers, representing approximately 60 percent of the motor insurance market.

Gary Herring, partner, Keoghs commented: 'I am delighted to welcome Anne and her team of talented and motivated credit hire specialists to Keoghs. This appointment is another significant milestone in the continued growth of our credit hire offering, and helps ensure that we can continue to deliver on our commitment to provide an unrivalled quality of service to our clients.
