RPC has appointed insurance-coverage partner Scott Schechter to launch its New York presence. The firm says the team will work with colleagues in London, Singapore and Hong Kong on cross-border insurance matters.
The announcement links a senior appointment with a new-office launch, but does not state a separate effective or opening date.
Why it matters
This is a UK firm's partner-led US platform build with stated links to its existing London and Asia network. It is a firm-specific strategy signal, not evidence of a market-wide expansion pattern.
