William Fry partner becomes first person in Europe to win three insurance sector ILO Client Choice Awards

John Larkin, partner in William Fry and head of the firm’s Insurance Department, has become the first person in Europe to win the International Law Office Client Choice Award for his work in the insurance sector for the third year running.

The award, chosen by in-house lawyers following a survey process, is in recognition of Larkin’s extensive expertise built up over 20 years advising the insurance sector in Ireland.  His practice focuses on assisting insurance and reinsurance companies to establish in Ireland and advising on cross-border passporting issues.  He also advises on M&A deals, portfolio transfers, restructurings and on other insurance-based transactions as well as on regulatory investigations.

Commenting on the award, Larkin said: “I am delighted to win this award for the third year in a row.  It’s a great honour to have been nominated by my peers again. I’d like to acknowledge the contribution made by the entire insurance team at William Fry whose expertise and dedication ensures that we always deliver results for our insurance and reinsurance clients.”
