DWF is set to launch an office in London after hiring a catastrophic injury team from Davies Lavery. The news comes after Davies Lavery yesterday (19 June) announced that it is to merge with rival insurance specialist Kennedys.

For DWF the new office will be headed by Davies Lavery catastrophic injury chief Graham Dickinson, who will be joined by fellow partner Claire Bowler. It is thought they will be accompanied by a team of around six fee earners and two additional staff.
