The Belfast firm is one of four legal services firms selected to support the delivery of the group’s claims strategy.

Leonard Edgar, client relationship partner for NFU Mutual at John McKee, said: “We are delighted to have been re-appointed to the NFU Mutual legal panel.

“We have developed a dynamic team of skilled lawyers to handle claims on behalf of the Mutual and we are very much looking forward to further strengthening our existing relationships with the NFU Mutual team, both in Belfast and throughout the UK.”

Jon Cawley, head of claims at NFU Mutual, added: “NFU Mutual has completed an extensive review of its future requirements for claims legal services to create a single panel across all the jurisdictions in which it operates.

“The consolidated panel provides for future relationships of greater depth and importance that will help us deliver our strategy of managing claims litigation proactively and effectively whilst continuing to support the future needs of our customers.

“We are looking forward to further enhancing the excellence of claims delivery, for which NFU Mutual is recognised, in partnership with these leading insurance legal practices.”
