DWF, a provider of integrated legal and business services, has announced the appointment of Kathleen Buck as President of its US claims team within the Claims Management and Adjusting (CMA) division.

With a wealth of experience in the insurance sector, Buck has a strong background in claims management.

She previously served as Vice President of Claims at Minnesota Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company and has held senior roles at AXA XL and Zurich North America.

Specialising in malpractice and professional liability claims, Buck is well-regarded for her innovative and proactive approach to managing claims.

Buck’s achievements include receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the Professional Liability Defense Federation (PLDF), where she also held the position of President.

She is a respected speaker and expert contributor for top industry organisations, such as the American Bar Association, the International Association of Defense Counsel, and the PLDF.

Her appointment further strengthens DWF’s expanding Claims Management and Adjusting business, following the acquisition of Proclaim in September 2024.

This new leadership role complements other recent senior appointments, including Antonio Herrera Sancho as Head of CMA in Spain, Darren Goldman as Head of CMA in North America, and Luca Schilardi as Head of CMA in Europe.

Paul Cowen, Global Head of Claims Management and Adjusting, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Kathleen, an experienced and respected industry leader, to our team. Her arrival marks a significant milestone in our continued growth in the North American market and her leadership will play a pivotal role in advancing our capabilities, strengthening client relationships, and supporting our strategic ambitions.”

Buck added: “I’m thrilled to be joining DWF at such a dynamic time for the business. The company’s commitment to innovation, client service, and international growth deeply resonates with me. I look forward to working with our talented team to further strengthen our claims management capabilities and support our clients across the US and beyond.”
