DLA Piper has announced Brad Cuff, Richard Tosh and Nicola Daly as new special counsel to the industry body.

The appointment of Brad Cuff brings years of experience in insurance law for insurance companies on litigated and disputed claims in both New Zealand and Australia.

Richard Tosh holds international experience in insurance and civil litigation, including ground-breaking cases in earthquake and leaky-building insurance.

Nicola Daly brings with her extensive experience in commercial and corporate advising as well as in information technology, including cyber security, data and systems integrity and continuance.

“With a strong background in the UK, and hands-on experience of infrastructure projects and public private partnerships, Nicola is sought after for her pragmatic and strategic approach to large, complex projects,” DLA Piper said in a statement.

The top NZ lawyer also announced the appointment of Vanessa Ma as senior associate. Moreover, Sophie Merkin and Kate Rogers were promoted as senior solicitor in the insurance and resource management team, respectively.

“All of these individuals have performed at an exceptionally high level and were well deserving of promotion this year,” DLA Piper said. “We look forward to building upon their success in the coming year.”
