The Big Read Book Series was introduced in 2019 and currently has 6 editions on various topics. This is the brain child of Donald Dinnie who is a regular presenter at seminars, webinars and industry functions. At a virtual awards ceremony in 2020, Norton Rose Fulbright in South Africa was recognised by the Institute of Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA) for an innovative ‘first-in-industry’ comic book, developed to inform clients about avoidance and cancellation of non-life insurance policies.

"The Big Read Book Series is an innovative way for information sharing with the insurance industry and for training. New editions are in the pipeline on various topics and will be made available to the market" said Donald Dinnie
