In 2010, Quinn Direct Insurance Ltd, a major underwriter of solicitors' professional indemnity insurance (PII) policies, went into administration and ceased writing new business in the UK.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority stated at the time that there was no requirement for firms insured with Quinn to seek replacement insurance.

Quinn's UK portfolio has now been acquired by Catalina Insurance Ireland Limited, and Lawshield UK Limited are managing claims for them.

Solicitors with Quinn run-off policies can continue to notify claims via the claims notification procedure set out in their policy. Policyholders should notify claims to Catalina C/O Lawshield UK Ltd:

Postal address: 850 Ibis Court, Centre Park, Warrington, WA1 1GG
