Jonathan Corman

“I was attracted to Fenchurch Law by the opportunity to act for policyholders – who traditionally have not had access to specialist coverage lawyers as compared with the huge choice available to  insurers. I enjoy the intellectual challenge, the problem-solving and the need for precise thought and precise language to secure the best possible client outcome.”

Fenchurch Law partner, Jonathan Corman, is a member of our Financial & Professional Risks team.  He acts exclusively for policyholders pursuing claims for indemnity against their insurers or defending uninsured claims made against them.

Jonathan has been an insurance specialist for almost 30 years, concentrating primarily on professional indemnity, as well as D&O, Financial Institutions and construction.

He has litigated at all levels of the court system, is familiar with the arbitration process and a strong believer in mediation whenever it is appropriate.

Jonathan acted for the successful policyholder in the recent Court of Appeal case of RSA v Tughans, which concerned indemnity for a claim relating to the policyholder’s own professional fees.

Legal 500 has described Jonathan as “at the foremost of his field, and a pragmatic and realistic lawyer who quickly identifies the issues and ways to address them … He is razor sharp and pulls no punches in achieving the best outcome for policyholders”.

Likewise, the Chambers & Partners Directory, has said that “Jonathan is an absolutely exceptional insurance lawyer; he knows the field inside out and has real gravitas.”

Jonathan is a member of the British Insurance Law Association and the Society of Construction Lawyers.
