Stephen Morton wins praise from clients for being forward-thinking and open-minded.

“He thinks around corners and comes up with solutions for law firms that others wouldn’t,” said Nicola Gillespie, director, contentious risk-legal & risk for Linklaters LLP in London.

When Brexit was voted in and the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union in 2020, it brought new challenges for Linklaters and other clients that were setting up new offices.

Linklaters wanted to establish an office in the Republic of Ireland but faced some obstacles.

“We needed to determine how to use our global PI program to meet local insurance requirements without purchasing additional policies,” Gillespie said.

“And we needed to structure it so that program allowed the review of different structures while providing the certainty for regulatory approval.”

Morton’s response was to develop the top excess layer of the existing program to become a regulatory compliance wrapper by adding the necessary compliance clauses and drop-down provisions and securing capacity from carriers.

Through this approach, he secured regulatory capacity across Italy, England, Wales and Ireland at no additional premium and in compliance with insurance requirements from the Law Society of Ireland.
