David is one of a handful of lawyers recommended by both Chambers and the Legal 500 for representing policyholders in insurance coverage disputes. He is described by the Legal 500 as "always thinking one step ahead", and as being "a very bright and capable litigator with real tactical nous". Chambers says that he "understands the commercial drivers behind business decisions", is "excellent on the law", and "has a good capacity to understand complex detail and put it into understandable language".Before opening Fenchurch Law in 2010 David was a partner at another firm of specialist insurance solicitors, where he acted exclusively for insurers in defending claims for indemnity under various types of liability insurance policy, and in defending professionals against allegations of negligence. Prior to that David spent several years in the commercial litigation department of a City-based law firm, advising Fortune 500 companies in relation to claims against their London market insurers.At Fenchurch Law David now acts exclusively for policyholders: advising them in relation to insurance coverage issues, almost always working in tandem with their insurance brokers.
