Hannah is a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualified professional with over 14 years of experience leading marketing and business development functions across the SaaS and professional services sectors.
RLK Solicitors has promoted Jamie Mackenzie to Associate within its Insurance
Litigation team, reflecting both his individual contribution and the firm’s continued
investment in its wider dispute resolution and litigation practice.
The promotion comes amid sustained demand from businesses seeking clear,
strategic advice on complex disputes, where early resolution, commercial certainty
and robust litigation support are critical. Jamie’s progression recognises his role in
managing complex matters day to day and supporting business owners and SMEs
through high-value and often contested insurance disputes, with a strong focus on
achieving the right outcome rather than litigation for its own sake.
Jamie advises clients across the full lifecycle of disputes, from early assessment and
strategic positioning through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution and, where
necessary, litigation. His experience working closely with insurers gives him a clear
understanding of dispute strategy and insurer decision-making, enabling him to
identify pressure points, assess risk realistically and pursue resolutions that align
with clients’ commercial objectives.
Originally qualifying as a barrister, Jamie brings valuable advocacy experience to his
role. He has represented both claimants and defendants in County Court hearings,
particularly in applications and quantum disputes, where his clear, measured
approach has consistently delivered effective outcomes. This blend of advocacy and
litigation experience strengthens RLK’s ability to progress disputes efficiently and
with authority.
Before joining RLK Solicitors, Jamie practised at a Legal 500 firm where he
predominantly acted for insurers and transport operators. He worked on a wide
range of civil claims and developed a strong reputation for identifying when claims
did not withstand scrutiny.
Chris Guy, Director at RLK Solicitors, commented:
“Jamie’s promotion to Associate is very well deserved. He combines strong technical
ability with commercial judgement and a clear understanding of dispute strategy and
insurer decision-making. That perspective enables him to manage complex disputes
with confidence and consistency, strengthening our broader Alternative Dispute
Resolution and litigation capability for clients.”
Commenting on his promotion, Jamie said:
“I’m proud to be promoted to Associate at RLK Solicitors and grateful for the support
and trust shown by the firm. RLK’s focus on resolving disputes in a way that works
commercially for clients strongly reflects how I approach my work. Helping
businesses navigate complex insurance disputes with clarity and confidence is
hugely rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to develop with the firm.”
