Devonshire Underwriting has appointed Kate Nolan as tax associate, effective immediately.
In this role, she will focus on underwriting tax insurance risks and assist with the tax aspects of the company’s Warranty and Indemnity Insurance risk offering.
Nolan joins the company from law firm Matheson LLP, where she was a tax solicitor, advising on all aspects of corporate taxation, focusing on mergers and acquisitions, complex restructurings and related tax issues.
Commenting on her new role, Nolan said that she is excited to “embrace creativity and innovation in the complex world of tax risk transfer,” adding that she is looking forward to contributing to the company’s growth while continuing to develop her mastery in the area.
“Joining the forward-thinking team at Devonshire allows me to work closely on end-to-end solutions in a dynamic environment, tackling challenges and identifying opportunities that come with operating in a specialised MGA,” she said.
Natasha Attray, a partner who co-founded Devonshire earlier this April, said that she is confident that the company will benefit from Nolan’s experience. The two will primarily work with each other, with Attray focusing on the company’s tax insurance offering.
“She is a highly experienced, detail-focused and tenacious individual who we know will fit the Devonshire culture and ethos with perfection,” Attray said.
Devonshire, which consists of Devonshire UW Limited and its affiliate Devonshire UW Europe GmbH, is a managing general agent which specialises in underwriting transaction risk insurance products.
The London-headquartered company was co-founded by partners Natasha Attray, James Dodd, James Fletcher and Charles Turnham, who have a combined 30 years of experience in transactional liability underwriting and more than 15 years of experience in law and tax.
Two months after it launched, the company officially expanded into the European market after securing approval from Lloyd’s, offering its services to countries like Germany, France, Spain and Italy.
