Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría
The three-lawyer-strong insurance group at Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría is distinguished by its ‘professionalism and extensive knowledge’, according to sources. Led by dedicated insurance counsel Rebeca Herrera, the team can also lean into the wider full-service firm’s corporate and litigation departments to provide broad coverage of both contentious and non-contentious matters. The compact but growing practice added four new clients during 2022/23, including multinational brands Oneglobal Broking and BMS Group.
