New boutique firm Edesia Law announced its launch today. Set up to defend claims against financial and legal professionals, Edesia Law supports a variety of clients across the UK including regulated financial advisers, lawyers, insurance brokers, insurers and managing general agencies, and construction professionals.
Principal & Founder Damian McPhun brings over 25 years' litigation experience specialising in the defence of professional liability claims against financial services, legal and insurance professionals. This experience has informed Edesia's relationship-focused model.
McPhun said: "Too many law firms are restrictive in the way they do business and have become accustomed to benefitting from protracted processes that can be costly to the client. We're bringing a new approach to the market. We know that putting the client first at all times and adapting our approach to suit their individual needs is the key to long-lasting relationships. Our aim is to become a trusted adviser to our client — consistently delivering positive outcomes fast, while providing exceptional value."
Edesia adopts an early-intervention strategy for effective resolution, complemented by an in-house claims handling team providing a "cradle to grave" service. The firm also supports construction professionals — engineers, architects, designers, contractors, M&E engineers and quantity surveyors — in the defence of professional negligence claims, and advises insurers on all aspects of policy response, including collateral warranties and third-party cover.
