Browne Jacobson partner Bridget Tatham is taking over as president of the Forum of Insurance Lawyers, which represents about 8,000 legal professionals across the UK and Ireland. She's been grinding at the firm since 2002 and handles gnarly cases involving occupational disease, plus brain and spinal injuries. Tatham already chairs FOIL's diversity committee, and she's planning to keep pushing that agenda while dealing with all the chaos hitting the insurance world right like geopolitical drama, inflation nonsense, and AI regulations.
The organization wants her to focus on bringing up the next wave of insurance lawyers, and they're making sure junior attorneys get actual input by giving them dedicated seats on sector teams. FOIL is also watching the Mazur judgment fallout because it messed with what paralegals and CILEX members can actually do as reserved legal work. Forbes partner David Mayor will serve as vice president and back her up on all the initiatives.
