Mark Healing

Mark is an insurance dispute resolution lawyer in our London office. He specialises in the coverage and defence of complex, high value claims against a range of professionals, including accountants, actuaries, barristers, brokers, D&O, IFAs, solicitors and surveyors.

Mark often advises in claims featuring allegations of fraud or dishonesty, a number of which have required expert IT forensic evidence, and is also experienced in securing interim relief including mandatory injunctions, security for costs, summary judgment and strike-out.

Mark also has hands-on experience of the London Market, having spent six months on secondment at a leading London Market insurer and reinsurer.

Reported decisions include:

• Healey v Shoosmiths [2016] EWHC 1723, concerning the scope of a solicitor's duty to advise a sophisticated client in a superyacht transaction, in which Mark gave evidence on his clients' behalves at trial.

• Lewis and others v Ward Hadaway [2015] EWHC 3503 (Ch) – a successful multi-claim summary judgment application which is the leading case on limitation in the context of court fee abuse.
