Regulatory partner joins law firm

International law firm DAC Beachcroft has recently announced the appointment of regulatory partner Gemma Brannigan to its market-leading health, care and public law team.

Gemma joins DACB from Clyde & Co where she acted predominantly for NHS Trusts, NHS Resolution and private healthcare insurers, having previously been a partner at Capsticks. She brings particular specialism in inquests, inquiries and investigations in the health and social care sectors and has advised on many of the highest profile cases.

Commenting on her appointment, Gemma said: 'I am very much looking forward to being a part of DACB’s already outstanding offering in the healthcare market. The team’s strength in depth and collaborative approach offers great opportunities to support clients in their growing ambitions.'

Nigel Montgomery, partner and head of health at DACB, added: 'The healthcare sector remains under great pressure, which makes the handling of significant challenges increasingly important to ensure our clients can continue to deliver safe and high quality care. A regulatory partner of Gemma’s calibre is therefore a fantastic addition to our very talented team.'
