Bevan Brittan LLP has been appointed by Zurich Financial Services to provide legal services following a review of its non–claims related legal work.

The appointment follows an extensive review of Zurich’s legal service providers and a new UK legal panel has been established following a competitive tender process carried out earlier this year. The review sees a significant reduction in the number of legal providers used by Zurich and Bevan Brittan is one of five firms to have been appointed.

Client relationship lead partner, Ben Daniels commented: “We are delighted to have been appointed to Zurich’s new UK legal panel. Zurich is one of our most important and valued strategic clients. The reappointment confirms the strength of our relationship.

We have worked closely with Zurich for the last six years and during that time Zurich as played an important role in helping us to develop our Promises and value added services.  We are very grateful for their support and look forward to working with them on future projects.”

James Butler, UK General Counsel and Governance Director at Zurich said: “The panel of providers was chosen because of their wealth of expertise and industry knowledge as well as their ability to provide a cost-effective and efficient service.  We look forward to working with the new panel on future projects.”
