    Led by partners Simon Johnson and Ron Mullins, Watmores is a £2.5m turnover company with a reputation for delivering dispute resolution and litigation insurance services to many of the UK’s major insurers.

    Based on Chancery Lane in London, the firm employs 26 people including five partners and directors, all of whom will move into DWF’s London office in the landmark Walkie Talkie building.
