Dean Andrews

Spear’s Review

Dean Andrews is a qualified solicitor who worked at PwC, Eversheds Sutherland and Paragon before becoming head of tax and contingent liability insurance at BMS Group in 2020. The firm provides specialist insurance, reinsurance and capital markets advisory services.

For Andrews, liability insurance is a growing field, which has evolved significantly in recent years in conjunction with the use of warranty and indemnity insurance by the private equity community on portfolio acquisitions. Entrepreneurs and dealmakers have, understandably, sought to insulate themselves from unforeseen consequences – in the shape of contingent liability insurance – that may result from mergers, acquisitions or IPOs.

Andrews has contributed articles to the International Tax Review, writing on subjects ranging from mergers and acquisitions to Canadian property holdings.
