RPC hires financial service dispute specialist in Bristol

Terence Dickens, a financial services disputes specialist has been newly added in the firm RPC as a partner. He moves across after nine years at Foot Anstey, where he led the contentious side of the firm's retail financial services offering.

In his new role at RPC, Dickens joins the firm's financial institutions and directors and officers (FI/D&O) team, which advises on claims made under policies covering banks, building societies, asset managers, hedge funds, private equity firms and venture capitalists.

Prior to joining RPC, Dickens worked at Eversheds Sutherland and Allen & Overy prior to joining Foot Anstey as an associate in 2013. He brings with him 18 years of experience acting for insurers in relation to most of the major market losses of the last two decades, including for insurers of the large clearing banks, global investment banks, fund managers, hedge funds and global insurers, the firm said.

James Miller, RPC's managing partner, said the hire plays into the firm's "ambitious" next phase of growth.

"Terence is our ninth new partner this year and we will continue to invest in good people, including in our market-leading insurance group," he said.
