Following on from the successful judgment in the groundbreaking Operation Orion tort of deceit case earlier this week, Keoghs' is delighted to announce that our dedicated Fraud Ring team was awarded the 'Personal Injury Team of the Year' award at a ceremony in London last night.
This is Keogh's second success at the Personal Injury Awards, following Andrew Underwood's recognition as 'Defendant Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year' in 2008.
Commenting on the success, Partner and Director of Fraud Rings Ruth Needham said:
"Keoghs' approach to fraud ring cases is unique within the industry and has delivered some outstanding results for our clients. This recognition from the industry is a welcome reward for all the hard work we've put into building a strong, skilled and highly client-focused team."
Keoghs' Fraud Ring team was set up in 2006 and remains (to our knowledge) the only dedicated team of its type operating in the industry. Since its creation, the team has grown dramatically - and now employs 27 staff, handling files in connection with over 90 fraud rings with a combined reserve for damages and costs in excess of £150m. The team works closely with the police and industry bodies including the IFB to assist general insurers in the ongoing fight against organised insurance fraud.
