DAC Beachcroft has hired an eight-strong insurance team, including five partners, from U.K. rival BLM, as the firm looks to cement its position in Northern Ireland a year after it launched.  

The firm has hired partners Peter Campbell, Fintan Canavan, Alison Cassidy, Paul McAllister and Aine Tyrell to the firm’s Belfast office, along with an additional three lawyers, according to a DACB spokesperson on Monday.
