Insurance law firm DAC Beachcroft has set its sights on expansion across Scotland – and that means offering a new unit for England and Wales claims.
North of the border, it has made a series of additions to the Glasgow office on the back of picking up a five partner-led team from BLM back in November last year. Among the latest additions are partner Keith Mathews and associate Ed Radford, both of whom are rejoining the firm from BLM.
Meanwhile, Mathews is also going to lead a newly established litigation unit that will handle England & Wales motor litigation claims for a host of vital clients.
“Many of our biggest insurer clients have a significant presence in Scotland and their own claims centres in Glasgow,” said Craig Dickson, CEO of DAC Beachcroft’s Claims Solutions Group. “By expanding our offering north of the border to include England & Wales litigation handling capabilities, we are able to meet the needs of our clients and offer them a more bespoke service, including better access to training opportunities, secondments and more – right on their doorstep in Scotland.”
Alongside both Mathews and Radford will be a team of six newly recruited paralegals.
“Keith and Ed previously worked in our motor fraud team, and we’re delighted to welcome them back,” added Craig Dickson. “Their arrival is a further demonstration of our determination to build our claims solutions business in Scotland and deliver the ‘everything, everywhere’ services our insurer and commercial clients are increasingly demanding.”
