Warren Kemp & James Harrison—DAC Beachcroft

New appointments to construction & engineering practice

DAC Beachcroft has appointed two new partners to its national construction and engineering practice.

Warren Kemp, who specialises in contentious matters, and James Harrison, primarily a transactional construction lawyer, joined the firm on 1 November from Watson Burton in Newcastle.   

Both Warren and James have significant experience of working with major clients across the housebuilding, engineering and insurance sectors.  In their new roles, the pair will work closely both with fellow partner Roddy Gordon, who joined the Newcastle office in April, and with the national team to further strengthen the firm's construction and engineering practice. 

Commenting on the latest appointments, Michael Blackburne, head of DAC Beachcroft's national construction and engineering disputes practice, says: "The arrival of Warren and James means that, together with Roddy, we will have a powerful team in Newcastle that will significantly enhance the firm's national offering of end-to-end service both for construction clients and their insurers and for our real estate clients."
