Duncan Cotterill celebrates Senior Associate Dion Morley’s selection for inaugural GILC Academy
Duncan Cotterill is proud to announce that Senior Associate Dion Morley has been selected as one of the six emerging insurance lawyers for the inaugural Global Insurance Law Connect (GILC) Academy programme.
GILC is a global alliance of insurance law firms, established to promote international collaboration and knowledge-sharing among insurance law professionals across member countries. Dion’s selection for this initiative highlights his dedication to, and exceptional talent in the field of insurance law.
Dion is a key member of the Auckland litigation and dispute resolution team. He has acted for insurer clients on a broad range of matters, working closely with policyholders, insurance brokers, and insurers to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively. Dion is a keen early adopter of technology, focusing on providing efficiencies for the benefit of clients.
As part of the programme, Dion will travel to London in early May for a week-long experience hosted by UK member firm Beale & Co. During his stay, he will gain firsthand exposure to the UK legal landscape, spend time at Beale & Co, visit Lloyd’s of London, the world’s leading insurance market, and explore diverse legal perspectives to enrich his professional practice.
Rob Coltman, Partner at Duncan Cotterill, commented:
“We are thrilled to see Dion Morley recognised for his outstanding contributions to the field of insurance law. His selection for the GILC Academy is a testament to his hard work, expertise, and commitment to excellence.”
