About

Provided by Kennedys

Kennedys is one of the two largest global defendant insurance firms and the only one with a presence in Northern Ireland. We are not a full-service firm with a personal injury litigation practice tacked on as an afterthought. We have an excellent liability defence team in Belfast and defend employers’ liability claims, public liability claims, motor claims and occupational disease claims, including hearing loss.
