Broker BMS Australia has appointed a new general counsel.
Georgina Reilly was appointed general counsel of BMS Australia, an independent specialist insurance and reinsurance broker.
Commenting on the move, Reilly said she was excited to join BMS “at a time when the business is on such a strong growth trajectory”.
“The company’s reputation for client service and its collaborative culture were big drawcards for me,” Reilly said.
Reilly most recently served as legal counsel for Ardonagh Global Partners, where she transitioned into insurance law through her involvement in cross-border M&A transactions.
Her experience includes private practice and in-house roles across commercial, corporate, dispute resolution and M&As.
BMS Australia CEO Andrew Godden said the company was “really pleased” to have someone with Reilly’s experience.
“Her deep legal expertise leading a range of complex legal, compliance and regulatory matters and her significant industry insight will be invaluable in supporting our continued expansion in the Australian market,” Reilly said.
“I would like to warmly welcome Georgina to the BMS team, and we look forward to working with her.”
Reilly said she was looking forward to working on strategic initiatives and helping the business navigate legal and regulatory challenges.
“I’m keen to contribute to building a strong and responsive legal function and play a role in shaping how legal adds value to the business as it scales,” Reilly said.
