International law firm DAC Beachcroft (DACB) has appointed regulatory partner Gemma Brannigan to its health, care and public law team.
Brannigan joins from Clyde & Co where she acted predominantly for NHS Trusts, NHS Resolution and private healthcare insurers. Prior to that she was a partner at Capsticks.
She brings particular specialism in inquests, inquiries and investigations in the health and social care sectors and has advised on a number of high-profile cases.
‘The healthcare sector remains under great pressure, which makes the handling of significant challenges increasingly important to ensure our clients can continue to deliver safe and high-quality care. A regulatory partner of Gemma’s calibre is therefore a fantastic addition to our very talented team,’ said Nigel Montgomery, partner and head of health at DACB.
This is the third partner hire to the firm’s health practice this year; commercial health partner Oliver Crich joined DACB in April and charity law partner Emma-Jane Dalley joined the firm in February.
