Biography

Bo Williams is licensed in Alabama and Florida and practices in the areas of insurance, litigation and admiralty throughout those states and the broader Southeast. He focuses his practice on complex first-party and third-party insurance coverage, litigation and counseling.

Bo represents various Underwriting Syndicates at Lloyd's and domestic market insurers in first and third-party bad-faith matters and excess engagements and routinely represents their insureds in litigation throughout the Southeast. In association with this work, he was selected to live and work in London in 2017 on secondment with Markel International and its Syndicate 3000, working primarily with Markel’s property open market, marine and energy claims divisions during that tenure along with time spent with their respective underwriting groups and other Underwriting Syndicates at Lloyd’s.
