Plexus Law has made two key hires as it gears up to providing a bespoke sector service to its insurer, broker and corporate clients.
Jason Spencer, an insurance partner at Hill Dickinson for 15 years, and Laurence Ives, formerly strategic and development director at Hill Dickinson, have joined Plexus Law this week to spearhead the new initiative.
Sector Solutions will be driven from within Plexus Law and will provide a comprehensive range of corporate motor and casualty claims insurance services to clients.
“This development enables Plexus Law better to align its services to the insurance market which is increasingly organised along sector lines,” said Jason. “Clients will not only benefit from the market leading infrastructure provided by Plexus but also from their commercial confidence and desire and flexibility to adapt to a fast changing market typified by the imminent MoJ reforms.”
“Leading client service means organising your business for the benefit of the customer. Our desire is to increase the depth and quality of the service we can provide to our clients whilst focussing on their business objectives,” added Jason.
“Experience shows that different sectors demand different responses to common issues,” said Laurence. “It’s an enormous boost for an insurer or corporate to partner with an adviser that understands how their sector works and what they need.”
Tim Oliver, Senior Partner of Plexus Law, said: “We’re delighted to be joined by two such experienced insurance professionals in Jason and Laurence. Their knowledge of the market and strong commitment to growing client relationships will help to keep Plexus Law at the forefront of innovative service development for clients – the motivation which drives this business.”
Jason Spencer spent 20 years with Hill Dickinson, 15 of them as an insurance partner. In 2001 he joined the Board of Hill Dickinson and was involved in shaping the strategic direction of the wider LLP. He was Head of the firm’s insurance practice nationally from 2005-2010. Latterly he has been focussing on developing client relationships.
Laurence Ives has worked within the insurance industry for over 20 years within a variety of roles within insurers, brokers and legal services. As Strategic and Development Director for Hill Dickinson he was responsible for the generation of new business and the account management for some of the firm’s largest clients. Prior to Hill Dickinson, Laurence was Head of UK Retail Claims at Marsh.
