Headquartered in Leeds, Plexus is an insurance-focused defence firm with a national footprint which specialises in the handling and litigation of insurance claims. Plexus Legal has six offices across England, while Plexus North, which was also acquired, has an office in Edinburgh.

We would also like to thank the team at Interpath Advisory for their stellar work in delivering this complex transaction as quickly as they have.”
