’I am delighted to be joining Arc Legal at this exciting time,’ says new appointee

Arc Legal Group, part of the AmTrust Financial, has appointed former Allianz leader Lee Taylor as its new chief executive.

Taylor will succeed Frank O’Malley and have oversight of the firm’s ancillary products and services in the UK.

The appointee said: “I am delighted to be joining Arc Legal at this exciting time as we look to build on the previous successes.

“By further expanding our portfolio, whilst ensuring continued focus on quality and service delivery for our partners and customers, Arc Legal will ensure it is placed as the leading ancillary product provider in the UK.”
