The location will be headed by partners Vladimir Rostan d’Ancezune and Christophe Wucher-North. The pair most recently worked at HMN, an insurance firm based in Paris.
DAC Beachcroft international development director Gustavo Blanco said: “Our clients, world-leading insurance companies and large corporates, will have immediate access through our Paris office to the rest of our network of offices, associated firms and Legalign Global.
“Vladimir and Christophe have a portfolio of work that aligns closely with the breadth and depth of the firm’s Insurance practice and we are delighted to welcome them to DAC Beachcroft.”
The law firm, which is a founding member of Legalign Global, has 11 branches across the UK.
The firm’s other branches are located in Ireland, Spain, US, Singapore, Mexico, Colombia and Chile.
DAC Beachcroft managing partner David Pollitt said: “Paris is an important hub for international insurance work, as well as gateway into the strong domestic market. Our ambition is to be the leading provider of insurance legal advice in France.”
