Global insurance provider Thomas Miller has appointed Noreen Arralde as senior claims director in its New Jersey office.
Arralde rejoins Thomas Miller from another P&I provider, where she spent two years, serving as a Vice President, covering the New York metropolitan area.
She previously worked at Thomas Miller Americas between 2012 and 2018, following 13 years with a US litigation firm and six years as claims manager for a global container shipping company.
With nearly three decades experience in the legal sector, Arralde previously worked as a litigator and has extensive knowledge of the maritime claims space.
Arralde is known for her expertise in the defence of US bodily injury claims, particularly in the cruise sector. It’s hoped her expertise will further strengthen the existing US bodily injury team.
Leo Kirchner, President and CEO of Thomas Miller said: “Noreen’s return to Thomas Miller Americas is a very welcome development. It significantly strengthens our already well-established US bodily injury expertise. Her dedication, deep knowledge and practical experience as a trial attorney will fit well with our enviable roster of claims personnel.”
Leanne O’Loughlin, Regional Director of UK P&I Club and UK Defence Club, added: “Noreen’s extensive exposure to complex cases during her previous tenure with us has been widely recognised by UK P&I Club Members. We look forward to her contribution and positive impact in maintaining and developing excellent service levels for our Members in the Americas region.”
