About BLMOur practice today is the result of the 1997 merger of Berrymans with Lace Mawer, followed by the 2003 incorporation of Jackson’s Insurance Law. In November 2007 we were very pleased to open our Cardiff office adding to our national coverage.
The origins of the firm date back to the eighteenth century, when Joshua Lace gave his name to an already established law firm in Liverpool. In 1901, Frederic Berryman began the practice of Berrymans in the City of London and, in 1946, Arthur Mawer founded AW Mawer & Co in Manchester.
From the very beginning, the founding firms were steeped in insurance law and recognised as leading insurance law practices. This remains true today. Berrymans Lace Mawer LLP (BLM) is one of the largest insurance law firms in the country with 95% of turnover derived from dispute resolution and litigation relating to insurance matters.
