The event at The Royal Hibernian Academy will mark the firm’s growth from just one Dublin-based lawyer in 2009 to an office of over 60 colleagues, with eight partners and a further 30 lawyers.

The firm’s Dublin office specialises in insurance (professional indemnity, defendant personal injury and health), commercial litigation, regulatory, and employment work.

It has also grown its data protection and cyber practices by leveraging the firm’s experience and relationships across other jurisdictions and is about to expand its offering to include commercial and competition law capabilities.

Lisa Broderick, partner and location head for Dublin, said: “We are really proud of what we have achieved over the past decade. We have a really talented and dedicated team and ambitious, market-leading and blue-chip clients.

“Our expansion into new practice areas and our forthcoming office move provide a fantastic platform for the next decade and we look forward to the opportunities and experiences that are before us as we continue to deliver a different, strategic perspective to our clients.”

Earlier this year, DAC Beachcroft announced plans to expand into Belfast by taking on the insurance business of Northern Ireland firm McKinty and Wright.

The move is expected to be completed in July 2019 and follows the opening of the firm’s Paris office earlier this year.

Ms Broderick said: “Being a truly international firm sets us apart from our competitors and enables us to deliver a fully integrated, seamless service for our clients – wherever they may need us. We are looking forward to our next ten years in Dublin – and then some.”
