(Re)insurance broker expands solicitors' offering in the north and southwest with three hires

Miller, the leading independent specialist (re)insurer broker, has announced the appointment of three new senior hires in its Solicitors’ Professional Indemnity (PI) team. Kerry Greenwood, Marianne McWilliams and Louise Chagas will report into Zarina Lawley, head of Solicitor’s PI, and will lead the expansion of Miller’s offering beyond London into the North and Southwest of the UK.

Kerry Greenwood (pictured), with Marianne McWilliams, will be leading Miller’s North of England growth, whilst Louise Chagas will predominately focus on Bristol and the Southwest. This regional expansion continues Miller’s commitment to the legal profession, offering clients access to local, regional expertise as well as London market knowledge and the partnerships Miller is renowned for

With over 80 years’ collective experience in the industry, Kerry, Marianne and Louise bring extensive legal PI knowledge, expertise and capabilities to the Miller team. Kerry and Marianne join from Marsh (formerly JLT), and Louise from Lockton.

The appointments reflect the continued growth of Miller’s legal sector proposition and follows the launch of Miller’s primary £10m facility in the summer, aimed at 11+ partner law firms.

Zarina Lawley, head of Solicitors’ PI at Miller, commented: 'I am delighted to welcome Kerry, Marianne and Louise to Miller. Their sector specialism and industry experience will be invaluable as we continue to expand our Solicitors’ PI offering, in particular bringing in-depth expertise to more clients across the UK as we grow our regional footprint.'

Kerry Greenwood commented: 'I am pleased to be joining Miller and its highly regarded Solicitors’ PI team. We share their ambition of combining specialty broking expertise with best-in-class in-person service across the UK. It is clear that growth – both in terms of geographical reach and capabilities—is at the forefront of Miller’s plans for 2023 and beyond, and we are delighted to join the Solicitors team as part of this.'
