Helen Faulkner, DAC Beachcroft’s head of insurance, commented: ‘The growth of our international capability is crucial to ensuring we are effectively serving the growing requirements of the global insurance industry.
‘In addition to opening in Paris recently and expanding in Madrid, we are always on the lookout for top talent to bolster our capabilities. Alex’s hire follows a year of considerable growth for our global insurance team in London, which saw Liam O’Connell and a seven-strong team of senior insurance lawyers join from Norton Rose Fulbright.’
