Commenting on his new role, Mr Fogg said: “I’ve been lucky enough to gain experience in many different jurisdictions around the world, from the lawyer, insurer and broker perspective. This has given me a real appreciation of the daily pressures faced by the key stakeholders in the industry and a fantastic insight into a variety of different insurance markets and litigation environments.”
This appointment brings the Barry.Nilsson. financial lines specialist presence in Brisbane to 10 and allows the promotion of five principles nationally in July, including new financial lines principal Jordan Farr, who joins Rhett Kennedy in leading the Brisbane team. The firm will soon be announcing other promotions in the coming weeks.
Mr Fogg, who is expected to commence in the office after the new year, said he is really looking forward to meeting the team and “cannot wait to get started”.
Chairman and head of the national insurance and health law practice, Mr Kennedy, said the appointment further strengthens the firm’s financial lines team.
“John Fogg’s appointment complements the firm’s strategy to provide a truly national service to our insurance clients, and the advantage of his extensive history of working in senior claims handling roles for a number of leading insurer clients leverages BN’s financial lines offering and the level of client service we can provide.”
