About
A boutique built around the work.
Edesia Law was founded by Damian McPhun to build the firm he wanted to instruct: senior, specialist, and unafraid of difficult matters.
Our story
Why Edesia exists.
We are a boutique City of London firm defending claims against financial and legal professionals. The practice was built on a simple idea: that the best professional indemnity defence is partner-led, technically fluent, and willing to find solutions others wouldn't.
Our clients are professionals at the most demanding end of the market — and the insurers and MGAs that stand behind them. We are not a large firm and do not aspire to be one. The work is the point.
What we believe
Values.
- Partner-led from first call to final hearing.
- Technical fluency in professional indemnity and regulatory work.
- Commercial outcomes designed around the client, not the textbook.
- Discretion. The matters we handle are rarely the kind clients want talked about.
