As Brunel PI Brokers’ Director - Head of Claims & Risk Management, I lead on supporting clients with risk management and claims. These important services are key elements of Brunel PI Brokers’ offering and of its goal to provide fast, reassuring and informed client service, tailored to the individual needs of its clients. Throughout my previous 30+ years career as a solicitor, I specialised in advising insurers, brokers and their insured professionals in the defence of claims, complaints and disciplinary actions. I was recommended for professional negligence work in Chambers legal directory as a Band 1 lawyer: "...highly regarded as an excellent practitioner, [he] has a broad practice with capabilities extending across a range of professions..." and “…peers admire his work and name him as one of the ‘key people on the defendant side with the most significant professional negligence practices” and in Legal 500 as a Leading Individual: "excellent [with] a wealth of knowledge and experience"; "particularly experienced in defending financial professionals"; and "particularly strong in accountancy matters.”Having founded and led DWF's Bristol Office for over 10 years, I was recognised as one of Business Today’s 10 Most Influential Defendant Lawyers of 2023 in South West: “As the managing partner of DWF’s Bristol Office, [Simon Mason] has been instrumental in shaping the complexion of professional negligence practice in the South West.”Now a former solicitor, I am based in Brunel PI Brokers’ London Office, in the heart of the UK insurance markets.
