Duncan Cotterill's Dion Morley joins inaugural GILC Academy cohort

Duncan Cotterill senior associate Dion Morley has been announced as a participant in the first-ever Global Insurance Law Connect (GILC) Academy programme.

He is one of six insurance lawyers to be part of the programme.

“We are thrilled to see Dion Morley recognised for his outstanding contributions to the field of insurance law. His selection for the GILC Academy is a testament to his hard work, expertise, and commitment to excellence”, Duncan Cotterill partner Rob Coltman said. “This opportunity will not only enhance Dion's professional growth but also bring valuable insights back to our firm, benefiting our clients and the wider community. We are confident that Dion will make the most of this experience and continue to excel in his career”.

Early next month, Morley will head to London for a weeklong experience conducted by UK member firm Beale & Co. In addition to a stint at the firm, he will visit Lloyd’s of London and build his knowledge of the UK market.

Morley practises with the firm’s litigation and dispute resolution team in Auckland. He has represented insurers on disputes and collaborated with policyholders and insurance brokers.

GILC is a global insurance law firm network. To be selected for the GILC Academy programme, applicants had to be nominated by a partner at their firms and present a business case for their participation. The GILC board and Academy subcommittee then evaluated the applications and selected qualified participants.
