Aspen Insurance legal head Patricia Roufca has joined Fidelis Insurance as its first group general counsel.
Fidelis is a privately owned Bermuda-based holding company, although Roufca will be based in the company’s London office.
She joins as Fidelis’ first general counsel, with the company having been established last summer to provide insurance and reinsurance products for the property, energy and marine sectors.
Roufca joins from fellow insurer Aspen, where she has served as associate group general counsel and company secretary for nearly ten years. Aspen promoted Roufca to the new role of associate group general counsel in 2007, where she most recently reported to group general counsel Michael Cain.
Prior to moving in-house, Roufca was also an associate at legacy LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae between 1999 and 2005.
