BTO Solicitors LLP

Insurance

Associate

Initially training and qualifying in Scotland, Tim worked for a large insurer defender firm in London and qualified to be admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales. His clients were several high profile insurance brands who instructed him in the defence of litigated personal injury and property damage claims. Tim has experience dealing with RTA, EL and PL cases across the County Courts in England. His caseload was largely Fast Track and Multi Track, with some Small Track. He would appear regularly in Case Management Conference Calls involving solicitors from either side and the Judge from the Court. Tim would also instruct Senior and Junior counsel on a regular basis for Trials and Paper Hearings where appropriate.

Now an Associate for BTO’s large insurance team, he defends claims for insurance clients, ranging from motor claims to employers’ liability and public liability claims.  His portfolio of cases is equally split between claims raised in the Court of Session, claims raised in the All Scotland Personal Injury Court and Sheriff Courts across Scotland. Recent successes include the abandonment of a dog bite claim brought under The Animals (Scotland) Act 1987 and the abandonment of an alleged assault at work claim.
