Appleby bolsters insurance team with former Athora counsel

Law firm Appleby has appointed insurance lawyer Cathryn Minors as counsel in its corporate department in Bermuda.

Prior to joining Appleby, Minors worked with two other offshore law firms: Conyers and Walkers. She also worked as legal counsel for Bermuda-based life re/insurer Athora.

Minors has advised on insurance and reinsurance matters involving life insurance securitizations, catastrophe bonds, special purpose insurers, and long-term and general business commercial re/insurers. She also has extensive finance experience, having worked on securitizations and general banking matters.

Minors said: “I am thrilled to be joining Appleby’s corporate department where I can contribute my skills and work alongside such a reputable team. The firm’s training and development of Bermudians, commitment to excellence and client satisfaction aligns seamlessly with my work ethic and personal ethos. I look forward to embarking on this next chapter of my career with Appleby!”

Cathryn’s diverse and extensive insurance and reinsurance experience will be invaluable in supporting our dynamic practice and expanding portfolio of clients. Cathryn’s addition not only bolsters our insurance team but also supports our wider corporate practice which continues to grow.”
