Once again retaining a Band 1 global ranking for its Latin American Insurance expertise, DAC Beachcroft was described as a “stellar insurance outfit revered for its ability to handle high-level cross-border mandates involving Latin America”.  Chambers also noted that the firm “is routinely retained by an enviable list of insurers to advise on high-stakes disputes”.

DACB was also highlighted globally for its contentious insurance practice with a Band 2 ranking.  Chambers noted that “the firm’s global platform is made up of a market-leading team in the UK, a strong network in continental Europe and comprehensive coverage of Latin America”.  

In Ireland, DACB Dublin was again recognised with a global ranking for Dispute Resolution, with Chambers remarking on the team’s “notable experience in professional disciplinary matters” and “impressive client list that includes several of Ireland's main statutory regulatory bodies”.

DACB’s UK-based teams were recognised with global rankings across four different categories, including Insurance Sector: Insurer (International & Cross-Border), Insurance: Contentious Claims & Reinsurance, Insurance: Contentious Claims & Reinsurance (Latin America), and Employment.
