Taylor Wessing announces the appointment of new partner, James Crabtree, who joins the Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice in London.

James joins from Pinsent Masons, where he was a partner and head of Insurance and Reinsurance Disputes.  His main area of expertise lies in the conduct of high value, complex disputes in the insurance/reinsurance sectors, often with an international element such as multi-jurisdictional claims litigation. He also handles commercial litigation and disputes referred to international arbitration.  In addition, James has extensive experience in advisory work, including advice on insurance and reinsurance contract terms and conditions and advice on the management of portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off. James is profiled in Legal Experts 2006 as an insurance expert.

James also brings with him senior associate, Sascha Foulkes, who joins Taylor Wessing on 29 May and will be working closely with James in this area, as well as with other members of Taylor Wessing's Insurance Group.
