After a break in our podcasting schedule, we are back with a bang this week having interviewed Paul Lewis, a Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills LLP.  Paul is currently Global Head of the Insurance & Professional Risks practice at Herbert Smith Freehills based in London.  Paul has worked on insurance disputes for over 30 years and most recently led the HSF team acting for the FCA in the COVID BI Test Case. Paul works with clients on all aspects of insurance and professional negligence disputes. He assists policyholders, insurers and brokers with claims under liability policies including professional indemnity, public liability, directors and officers, Bermuda form and crime.

Paul explains to Barry how he came to work in insurance disputes, the highs and lows of his career, what he thinks makes a good lawyer and his aspirations for the future. Listeners will also hear some slightly different questions in this week's quickfire round.
