Former DWF partner Will Marshall (pictured) has joined newly launched insurance and risk management provider Altea Insurance as legal and risk management head.
Backed by Mission Underwriters UK & Europe, the days-old business picked Marshall to lead its risk management and client solutions brand AlteaPlus.
“It is exciting to join a company with the benefit of considerable resources and capital to help build a profoundly different offering in the medical indemnity arena,” Marshall said in a release.
“Bringing my expertise alongside insurance sector experts was essential in order to take AlteaPlus to the market. Altea and our offering through AlteaPlus provides a solution to the currently unfulfilled needs of clients in the healthcare sector.”
The key hire brings nearly three decades of insurance healthcare litigation experience to the new London-based market player.
Altea chief executive Carly Matson had this to say: “We are delighted to welcome Will to Altea as our head of legal and risk management. His extensive experience in UK insurance healthcare litigation and his proven track record as a trusted advisor make him an invaluable addition to our team.
“We believe his professionalism, gravitas, and entrepreneurial mindset will greatly benefit Altea and enhance our ability to serve our clients effectively.”
Launched less than a week ago to cater to the medical, allied health, and care sectors, Altea aims to offer multi-year and multi-class insurance solutions, real-time risk and claims insights, instantaneous quotations, and streamlined policy administration.
