    Dru is joined by Will Bennett, a Partner in SDV’s West Coast office, to discuss his career, the firm’s evolution, and the shared mission underpinning SDV’s partnership with Fenchurch Law. Will reflects on SDV’s remarkable growth, what initially drew him to insurance coverage work, how U.S. courts approach policy interpretation, and the procedural contrasts between U.S. and UK litigation—topics he recently explored in greater depth with Joanna Grant during their comparative webinar. The conversation also covers Will’s recent travels to Scandinavia, his impressions of London, and the distinctive quirks of Lloyd’s drafting and bespoke policies. To round things off, Will offers a glimpse into life in Southern California, from surfing and hiking to playing the mandolin.
