Law firm scoops up London insurance expert O'Connell

Legal expert Clive O'Connell has joined London law firm McCarthy Denning Ltd. as head of insurance and reinsurance.

“I will be focusing as I have for the last 34 years on all aspects of reinsurance, complex insurance and ILS,” he said. “I am delighted to join a law firm that's redefining business law and the way in which legal services are delivered in a client focused and cost effective manner.”

Mr. O'Connell was previously a partner at Goldberg Segalla Global L.L.P. in London, but left the firm after he was recorded on Oct. 31, venting at rival soccer fans after a recent loss by his favorite team.

He joined McCarthy Denning in December.
