Sedgwick unveils new legal services

9th May 2023

Sedgwick has introduced legal services to UK insurers focusing on first party property claims and recoveries.

Sedgwick Legal Services, which will be led by partners John Hinton and Paul Squires, will expand into casualty, motor and other specialist lines in the future.

Paul White, Sedgwick CEO in the UK, said, “We are delighted to welcome John and Paul to Sedgwick and look forward to delivering truly end-to-end recovery solutions to the UK market. Both will be actively involved throughout the claim lifecycle – from first notification of loss through to litigation. The addition of legal services to our robust claims-handling offerings will mean we can provide more efficient and cost-effective solutions for our clients and their customers. Bringing this specialty in-house considerably enhances our recovery proposition for property claims.”

John added, “We have a clear vision of how to deliver improved results against the traditional legal services model. Our team of lawyers and paralegals are able to leverage Sedgwick’s wider claims management expertise and digital capability to provide a high-quality, consistent and simpler service for our clients.”
