Mark joined Keoghs in May 2020, bringing with him a wealth of experience in household and commercial claims. Mark heads up our Scottish Property Risks and Coverage team. The team works on a range of claims arising out of household, commercial and professional indemnity insurances.
In the household space the team operate property recovery schemes for a number of major insurers and conduct large loss recovery work. In addition to recovery work, they also defend third liability party claims arising under household policies (nuisance / occupiers’ liability / common law) and assist their client’s with tricky first party claims.
In commercial insurance Mark and his team have experience in working across a broad range of commercial sectors including: agriculture, construction, utilities and manufacturing giving rise to claims involving defective products, services, advice and from the use and occupation of land. They provide pragmatic advice on the coverage, liability and recovery / contribution issues which arise out of commercial disputes.
Mark’s own work centres on major loss and coverage. This tends to mean that he is involved at the outset following a loss and prior to any litigation. But where that is required, Mark is a solicitor advocate enjoying rights of audience in all of Scotland’s highest civil courts.
