David Kennedy and Louise O’Reilly have been promoted to partner in the firm’s insurance litigation team, while Brian Ormond has been made a partner in the regulatory and commercial team.

Across the entire business, 17 new partners, 18 new legal directors and 19 senior associates have been appointed, all with effect from 1 May 2022.

Managing Partner David Pollitt said: “Congratulations to our new partners and legal directors on their well-deserved promotions. On behalf of the entire firm, I want to wish them every continued success in their careers and thank them for their contributions to our business so far.

“Our aim is to be the place where talented people want to work, and it’s especially pleasing to note that 35 per cent of our new partners started their careers at DACB. Investing in and helping our colleagues succeed means we can better help our clients succeed. It’s all part of our culture and how we deliver bespoke solutions, one client at a time.”
