Eversheds Sutherland has expanded its insurance team with the appointment of Helen Hallam as a partner in its London office.
Hallam brings extensive experience advising on high value, complex and time critical transactions, frequently involving multiple stakeholders and detailed regulatory considerations. Her work has spanned the full lifecycle of major transactions, combining technical knowledge with a strong understanding of commercial and operational drivers.
She joins the firm from Canada Life, where she spent more than eight years in senior in-house roles, including as lead counsel advising on insurance led corporate finance transactions.
During her time at Canada Life, she worked at the centre of the insurer’s bulk annuities, reinsurance and capital activity, advising on a wide range of matters including pensions risk transfer transactions, funded reinsurance and longevity risk arrangements, insurance business transfers, and related investment and capital management structures.
“Having spent a number of years working in-house, I place real importance on practical advice that supports commercial outcomes. I’m really looking forward to working with colleagues across the firm to support clients in achieving their goals in a fast-moving and highly competitive market,” Hallam stated.
