Global law firm DWF has recruited senior insurance litigator Lynne Macfarlane as a director in its Scottish insurance practice.
Macfarlane joins from Clyde and Co , where she has spent the entire 20 years of her legal career having joined as part of the former Simpson & Marwick.
She has extensive experience in defending leading insurers against employers’ liability, public liability, catastrophic injury, road traffic accidents, product liability and regulatory claims.
Macfarlane is also a solicitor advocate, with rights of audience in the supreme courts, regularly appearing at pre-trial meetings and preparing written pleadings.
Andrew Lothian, DWF's head of general insurance in Scotland, said: "We are delighted to welcome Lynne to the insurance practice in Scotland. She is a senior and experienced insurance litigator who will add substantial breadth to our insurance legal services provision, for the benefit of insurer clients both in Scotland and further afield."
Macfarlane said: "DWF has an enviable reputation as a leading legal provider to insurers, not only for complex and casualty work but also for its approach to providing an award-winning analytical and technology-led service. I am really looking forward to being a part of the future success of the insurance practice in Scotland."
