Will Harrison (pictured) will be based at Minters’ Perth office. Prior to joining DLA in 2007, he was a senior associate at Clifford Chance for six-and-a-half years.

 
 

Mr Harrison’s non-contentious insurance practice focuses on financial lines and speciality insurance: in particular, directors and officers' (D&O) liability; professional indemnity; fidelity; and product liability insurance.

He has worked on high-profile D&O and professional negligence matters globally, including the Grant Thornton negligence litigation in Hong Kong; the Barings Bank collapse negligence action in London; and the London Metal Exchange aluminium cartel class action in the United States.

Minters lost Brisbane-based restructuring and insolvency specialist David O’Farrell in December, a few months after the national firm nabbed around a dozen partners and lawyers from Maddocks’ tax controversy team.
