International law firm Conyers has promoted Sophia Greaves to the role of Head of Insurance and Reinsurance within the firm’s Bermuda corporate practice. She will succeed Charles Collis, and is the first female lawyer in her new role.
Greaves joined Conyers in 2010 as an Associate and became a Director in 2016. As the Head of Insurance and Reinsurance, she will lead the two practices.
Before joining the firm, Greaves was a practising insurance lawyer in London and Hong Kong.
Marcello Ausenda, Director and Head of the Bermuda Corporate Practice, commented, “We are delighted to announce Sophia’s promotion as the new Head of the Bermuda Insurance & Reinsurance practice. Sophia is a generational talent – she is a market-leading lawyer who has earned the confidence and trust of her clients and colleagues alike.
“As a natural leader there is no better person to take the helm of our leading insurance practice at this exciting time. Sophia is a most worthy successor to Charles Collis who has been instrumental in building the jurisdiction’s largest and leading insurance and reinsurance practice.”
Greaves has a proven track record of establishing a broad client base spanning several insurers and insurance groups. She has deep expertise in specialising in securitisations, mergers and acquisitions, and re/insurance transactions.
In particular, she advises on the formation, licensing and ongoing regulatory requirements for Bermuda captives and commercial insurers.
Greaves concluded, “I am honoured to take on the role of Head of Insurance & Reinsurance at Conyers. We have a talented, deep bench of lawyers in our team who have been recognised as leading individuals in the insurance industry across areas of expertise. I am excited for us to build on our strengths as a team as we aim to continue to provide effective, commercial solutions for our clients.”
