The insurance and litigation teams are to be boosted by the new additions. International arbitration group partner Maurice Kenton said: 'With this latest expansion we are now not only firmly established as a top-tier insurance practice in the region, but have also positioned ourselves in a position of strength in the commercial and construction disputes space.'
