National insurance firm Gilchrist Connell and international legal business DAC Beachcroft have formed an alliance to deliver legal services to the insurance sector across the Asia-Pacific region.
Gilchrist Connell – established in 2008 and operating across all Australian jurisdictions from its five offices in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney – has entered a “strategic alliance” with leading UK international legal business DAC Beachcroft.
The UK firm, established in 1763, has been in operation for 263 years. Today, it boasts a workforce of 3,000 globally across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
The two firms are forming a “strategic alliance” to deliver “comprehensive legal services to multinational insurers, brokers, and businesses within the insurance sector”.
The collaboration between Gilchrist Connell and DAC Beachcroft allows both firms to “leverage [their] strengths”, enabling them to help clients navigate “complex coverage issues and defend claims effectively”.
Gilchrist Connell said the alliance will operate as a referral arrangement, enabling both firms to deliver a seamless experience to the insurance sector clients.
While Gilchrist Connell already provides services across Australia, it noted this partnership will enable it to expand its legal offerings to clients needing assistance in other regions where DAC Beachcroft operate.
DAC Beachcroft is in a similar position, wanting to break into the Australian legal market, which Gilchrist Connell is well equipped to assist with.
Gilchrist Connell expressed that this alliance “promises to deliver enhanced resources, seamless service, and innovative solutions to address complex legal challenges.
Richard Wood, managing principal at Gilchrist Connell, said the firm is “really thrilled” about this new opportunity with DAC Beachcroft.
“This alliance allows us to offer our clients an unparalleled level of service and expertise, both locally and internationally,” Wood said.
Helen Faulkner, head of insurance at DAC Beachcroft, echoed this enthusiasm, particularly regarding enhancing the firm’s capacity to deliver comprehensive global legal solutions to clients in the Asia-Pacific region through this collaboration.
“Our alliance with Gilchrist Connell strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive global legal solutions to our clients in the insurance sector, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to working together to deliver exceptional results,” Faulkner said.
