Insurance and corporate risk specialist Kemsley Brennan has joined law firm MinterEllison as a partner in Sydney.

Mr Brennan spent 18 years at Chubb, including as VP of claims in specialty and financial lines, and Asia-Pacific casualty technical claims manager.

Most recently he was a partner of law firm Colin Biggers & Paisley.

Peter Coats, a partner and head of MinterEllison’s insurance and corporate risk unit, says Mr Brennan gives clients access to unique expertise.

“Kemsley’s experience across the Australian, Asian, US, UK and European financial services industry, gained during his time with Chubb, will be particularly valuable to our client base, which includes insurers, reinsurers, captives, financial planners and major corporates.”
