Will reflects on SDV\u2019s remarkable growth, what initially drew him to insurance coverage work, how U.S. courts approach policy interpretation, and the procedural contrasts between U.S. and UK litigation\u2014topics he recently explored in greater depth with Joanna Grant during their comparative webinar.<\/p>\n

The conversation also covers Will\u2019s recent travels to Scandinavia, his impressions of London, and the distinctive quirks of Lloyd\u2019s drafting and bespoke policies. To round things off, Will offers a glimpse into life in Southern California, from surfing and hiking to playing the mandolin.<\/p>\n
