Ed Foss, Group Legal Adviser at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group Plc for the past seven years, will be joining CMS Cameron McKenna LLP’s Insurance and Reinsurance practice as a partner in the autumn.
Prior to joining Jardine Lloyd Thompson, Ed Foss was a partner at Davies Arnold Cooper.
Liam O’Connell, Head of Insurance at CMS Cameron McKenna, commented, “I’m delighted that Ed will be joining us later this year. He is a well-known figure in the insurance and reinsurance market and his perspective will provide us with a unique understanding of the insurance business and take us another step closer to our ultimate goal which is to be truly client orientated.”
CMS Cameron McKenna’s Insurance and Reinsurance practice is based on two sites in London and Bristol. The dedicated London office is situated on Leadenhall Street, EC3, in the heart of the insurance market.
The practice currently comprises 16 partners and just over 50 associates. Last year the practice announced a major initiative to focus on offering an integrated legal service across the European market. This initiative allows clients access to lawyers across Europe through closer links built between the insurance practices of CMS firms in Western Europe, and CMS Cameron McKenna’s own offices in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Jardine Lloyd Thompson group of companies is a leading risk management adviser and insurance and reinsurance broker. The company is also a major provider of employee benefit administration services and related consultancy advice. It operates in more than 30 countries and employs over 5,000 staff.
