Insurance and risk specialist BLM has added two new partners Seamus White and Audrey McGinley, both formerly with insurance defence firms in Dublin.

The growing BLM team now employs 50 people.

Senior partner Matthew Harrington, said: “Seamus and Audrey are a significant addition to our Dublin operations and are a direct response to our rapidly expanding client base. 

“Ireland is the head office for many of our clients and our strong reputation, expertise, breadth of experience and commitment to hiring the very best, positions BLM well to meet our clients’ needs. Dublin is now the only BLM office in the EU.”

Catastrophic injury cases

Seamus has over 20 years’ experience in law specialising in defending catastrophic injury cases, fraudulent claims and public liability while Audrey, who qualified in 2008, will work in litigation and dispute resolution, specialising in defence litigation.

Matthew continued: “2020 will be an interesting year: a possible change in government, fallout of our neighbour leaving the EU and the opportunities that will arise due to our gateway to the European Union.”
