Kennedys is merging with O’Hare O’Connor Walshe to create a stronger presence in Professional Indemnity Insurance and employers and public liability insurance in Ireland
There’s been a clear market and client demand for stronger market- transforming presence in Dublin and this strategic partnership will fully enable this. Driven in part by the fact that both Kennedys and O’Hare O’Connor Walshe share much of the same client base.
Kennedys is a specialist national and international legal firm with expertise in litigation and dispute resolution and is a top 50 law firm.
Kennedys Ireland senior partner, James Staines said: “The Irish market for professional indemnity is poised for major changes due to the winding-down of the Solicitors Mutual Defence Fund and other regulatory changes. This is the perfect time to be teaming up with such a fantastic insurance market player. We’ve got to know each other well over the many years our firms have worked in association and look forward to combining our strengths to tackle the opportunities and challenges in the years ahead.”
Graham Hearsey from Professional Insurance Agents welcomed the move and felt it will help drive the awareness and importance of Professional Indemnity Insurance for businesses throughout England and Ireland. He went on to say that: “Many companies are simply not aware of the importance Professional Indemnity when considering their insurance options”.
