Kate Hill

Partner

Kate is a highly experienced insurance lawyer and reinsurance litigator. She is a specialist in brokers’ errors and omissions claims, including claims involving multi-million-pound property damage and business interruption losses. Kate has also advised on a range of high value, market leading instructions across a range of complex insurance product lines including D&O liability and aviation.

“My advice is always tailored to its ultimate audience, be that the General Counsel, the board of directors or the brokers.”

“I have wide international experience, which has included acting on multi-national, high value coverage disputes and brokers' negligence claims.

I am tenacious yet measured. I have an in-depth knowledge of the standard of care owed by brokers to their clients but I also know the broking world and the commercial realities of working in that industry.

A client stated in my Legal 500 testimonial that I "consistently provide easy-to-digest sensible advice which enables the business to move forward."

I am experienced, pragmatic, responsive, down to earth, and always aim to be the client's trusted advisor. My advice is always tailored to its ultimate audience, be that the General Counsel, the board of directors or the brokers.”

Kate’s recent work highlights:

Acting for a leading market broker in a reported case involving allegations of professional negligence relating to the placement of a £multi-million property damage and business interruption policy. 

Defending a top-four broker against a broker’s negligence claim regarding the placement of a marine policy for a high net worth individual.
