the natural choice in law
"Team head Daniel Scognamiglio ... wins praise for his "client-focused, market-leading, clear and pragmatic advice." Described by clients as "honest, open and trustworthy," he is "quick to communicate with good experience and an eye for detail."" (Chambers UK, A Client's Guide to the Legal Profession 2012)
Daniel is one of our partners and the team leader of the Travel team which is based in Southampton. Daniel is a specialist in multi-jurisdictional disputes and travel insurance litigation holding dual qualification from England as a solicitor and the US as an Attorney at Law (New York, non-practising). He has worked on the leading cases involving the implication of the European motor directives on English law and recovered insurers' outlays worth several million pounds.
Daniel's expertise has seen him act for both claimants and insurers, mostly in contentious matters. He has a particular specialism in handling foreign personal injury matters, advising insurers as a result of accidents that have happened abroad and dealing with general litigation and commercial disputes with an international or multi-jurisdictional element.
