Professional Risks

“I was attracted to Fenchurch Law because of the breadth of expertise it has across all lines of insurance for brokers and policyholders. I was also drawn to Fenchurch Law’s openness and approach to neurodiversity as I am dyslexic and dyspraxic. I believe it will ensure I work to the best of my ability and fulfil my potential.”

“I was attracted to Fenchurch by the size, purpose and direction of the firm. Despite being a fairly young firm, Fenchurch has quickly established a very strong reputation within the legal insurance market for first-rate protection of policyholders’ interests. Fenchurch Law’s core values – which emphasise forward-looking personal responsibility – also drew me to the firm, as the entrepreneurial culture is one in which Fenchurch lawyers are able to think outside the box to get the best possible results for their clients.”

He completed seats in Employment, Insurance and Reinsurance, Regulatory and Transactions. Dru graduated from McGill University, Montreal, Canada with a degree in History and Political Science before achieving a distinction in his LPC at BPP, Holborn.

“I was attracted to Fenchurch Law by the opportunity to act for policyholders – who traditionally have not had access to specialist coverage lawyers as compared with the huge choice available to  insurers. I enjoy the intellectual challenge, the problem-solving and the need for precise thought and precise language to secure the best possible client outcome.”
