Kennedys has agreed an association with Canadian law firm Dolden Wallace Folick as it continues its international expansion.
Dolden Wallace Folick is an insurance specialist firm, founded in 1994 and which now comprises 135 people, including 20 partners across its offices in Toronto, Calgary, and Kelowna.
Nick Thomas, senior partner at Kennedys, said in a statement: “There is a very strong connection between our firms in terms of purpose, specialist focus and client base. It’s a very good fit. We recognise a great deal of ourselves in Dolden Wallace Folick so we are very pleased to be formalising our relationship.
“At Kennedys, our growth has, and will continue to be, predicated on client need. Through this association, not only can we now support clients across another major and growing insurance market, we do so with a trusted partner who also brings extremely strong connections with the London Market.”
The association with Doldens takes the number of Kennedys offices around the globe to 63. Kennedys’ association with Doldens follows its expansion in the U.S. in June, when the firm launched an office in San Francisco.
In 2017, Kennedys significantly expanded in the U.S. via a merger with New Jersey insurance firm Carroll McNulty & Kull, which had five offices.
Last year, the firm also grew its European offering with a new office in Lisbon.
