Browne Jacobson doubles down on international capability with hire of specialist insurance arbitration partner
Browne Jacobson has appointed Antony Woodhouse as a partner in its London office, reinforcing the firm's international strategy and reinsurance/insurance capability with the addition of one of the market's most experienced Bermuda Form arbitration specialists.
The appointment continues Browne Jacobson's significant expansion in London, building on the recent double-hire of Adam Berry and Adam Culy. Across the Browne Jacobson network there have been 13 lateral partner hires during 2025/26 (including six in London). Together, these hires signal the firm’s sustained and deliberate investment in specialist disputes expertise, and Antony's arrival further reinforces the firm’s ambition into specialist insurance and reinsurance arbitration work.
Global insurance market credentials
Antony brings more than 30 years of experience advising insurance and reinsurance clients in the London Market and internationally across a broad range of lines. He is particularly recognised for his Bermuda Form arbitration work, a technically demanding and commercially significant specialism that very few practitioners can match.
Antony said: “Browne Jacobson has the ambition, the platform and the culture to compete at the very top of the international arbitration market, and that is exactly where work sits. The timing feels right, and I cannot wait to get started."
Jonathan Newbold, head of financial services and insurance, added: “We are delighted to add a practitioner of Antony's quality to our ambitious and growing insurance and reinsurance team serving the London market and international clients. Following the addition of Adam Berry and Adam Culy at the end of last year, and a wider programme of targeted growth across our dispute resolution teams, we have continued to bring in exceptional talent wherever we see the opportunity to build a market-leading offering.”
