Partner James Wickes specialises in advising London market non-marine insurers on complex coverage disputes (both direct and facultative reinsurances) and defending claims against financial professionals/institutions.

His practice particularly involves advising financial and professional lines insurers, including PI, D&O, W&I and Crime / Fidelity insurance.
