Kennedys has continued its run of international expansion with office openings in Paris and Bangkok.

The insurance firm is to open in Paris with a four-partner team from French litigation boutique BOPS Avocats, and in Thailand with two partners from DLA Piper.

The Paris office will be led by Christian Bouckaert, former senior partner and co-founder of BOPS. He will be joined by partners Alexis Valencon, Auralia Cadain and Nicolas Bouckaert, with the office to focus on insurance and reinsurance, litigation and commercial advice.
