Fenchurch Law, a UK law firm specialising in insurance coverage disputes, has expanded its construction and property claims disputes capabilities with the appointment of Jim Robenalt as senior associate.

Robenalt has over a decade of experience in litigating coverage disputes arising from property damage, bodily injuries, construction defects and environmental liability.

He has worked both for and against a number of leading insurers on first and third-party claims, and has also advised on claims notification and claims management issues.

Robenalt joins from US law firm Williams Kastner which is based in Seattle and Portland.

“Fenchurch Law’s commitment to levelling the playing field for policyholders in insurance coverage disputes together with their position in the world’s pre-eminent insurance centre were important factors for me,” said Robenalt.

“I was keen to join a dynamic, boutique law firm and so am happy to be part of the team,” he added.

David Pryce, manging partner, Fenchurch Law, also commented: “Now more than ever it is important for us to continue to invest in building our experience and capabilities.”

“Jim is an important addition to the team, bringing with him a combination of coverage disputes expertise and international insurance law experience. His background in the property and constructions markets will also be valuable to our clients.”
