Partner Gavin Campbell, who leads the office, has said the new city centre offices at St Stephen’s Green House, Dublin 2 will be well placed to service insurance firms relocating to Ireland after Brexit.

BLM developed an all-Ireland capacity three years ago when it merged with Dublin-based Campbell Fitzpatrick Solicitors.

It has attributed its solid growth south of the border in part to opportunities within the recently-established international network, Global Insurance Law Connect, of which BLM is a founder member.

Mr Campbell said: “BLM Dublin is an award winning firm for defendant insurance litigation, in both the private and public sectors.

“We have built on the strong foundations set by our core team, led by Rhona McGrath, and expanded to continue to deliver top-class case handling for our growing client base. Building from this, we have established a specialist healthcare team, led by Nessa O’Roarty, who also leads on our work for State Claims Agency.

“Most recently we expanded further with the appointment of Garrett Cormican to lead our professional indemnity team and take forward our defence work on behalf construction, legal and financial services professionals. And in the coming months we will seek to increase our head count further with senior hires in a number of key strategic areas.

“Our strong presence in Ireland will also allow us to service insurance businesses that may relocate to Ireland in order to retain an EU-presence after Brexit.”

BLM’s insurance customers include 15 of the top 20 UK insurers, along with leading brokers, managing general agents, loss adjusters and other intermediaries.
