UK law firm Birketts has taken on seven former Ince Group marine and insurance specialists to boost its shipping practice.
They are Alex Penberthy, Daniel Crockford, Clarissa Dumolo, Joanna Mansel, Markella Papadopoulou, Gabbie Hazzell and Kate Jenkins.
Birketts said the hires will expand its capability with their experience in marine insurance claims and casualty work as well as yacht and superyacht cases.
The newcomers join a shipping practice of 15 at the Ipswich-based firm, which recently opened an outpost in the City of London.
Partner and head of shipping & international trade Henry Adams said: “Our top-ranked shipping and international trade team continues to grow, and the arrival of this marine and marine insurance claims team bolsters our offering even further.”
The Ince Group went into administration in April and was acquired by law group Axiom DWFM, which bought its legal business and associated assets.
