DWF is located across the UK, Europe and in the UAE, with insurance being one of its core sectors.

The ABI’s associate membership category has been developed to meet interest from non-insurance companies in joining the ABI, such as legal firms, consultants, price comparison sites, and the wide variety of suppliers, including software houses, who help insurers deliver their services.

Associate members benefit from a wide range of ABI services including access to the full range of ABI statistics, industry updates, thought leadership work, networking opportunities and reduced rates for ABI events.

Huw Evans, ABI director general, said: “I am very pleased to welcome DWF as our latest associate member. This will enable them to strengthen their already strong links with the industry. I look forward to the ABI continuing to work alongside DWF on some of the key issues impacting on our industry.”

Paul Berry, CEO of insurance services at DWF, added: “DWF has worked with the ABI for many years and we are pleased to be able to strengthen our relationship by becoming an Associate Member, enabling the firm to work even more closely with the insurance industry.

“As a leading national legal business with a core strength in insurance, we are dedicated to working with other industry stakeholders to address the key issues affecting our sector. We look forward to continuing this work with the ABI.”
