Kennedys has hired three more lawyers from Mayer Brown’s London insurance team, including two partners, taking its total hires from the US firm to five in recent weeks.

Partners Ingrid Hobbs and Andrew Westlake will join Kennedys in early 2018 alongside Mayer Brown’s former London insurance head David Chadwick and fellow insurance partner Andrew McGahey, whose exits were revealed by Legal Week in October. Senior associate Tim McCaw will also join Kennedys as a partner.
