DAC Beachcroft launches Miami office
Re/insurance law firm DAC Beachcroft has launched a Miami office to strengthen its platform in Latin America.
The new office will connect the firm's existing Latin American offices to re/insurance clients operating in the Miami hub.
Former AIG executive, Sascha Stullenberg, joins the team, bringing experience of the Latin American and Caribbean insurance markets.
Paul Murray, DAC Beachcroft managing partner, said: "We are very excited about this development, which marks a further important step in the firm's international expansion plans.
“The new office will support the firm's existing Latin American network and we are particularly pleased that Sascha has accepted the role of liaison between our local offices throughout the region and the Miami market.”
David Pollitt, head of insurance, added: "DAC Beachcroft is already the leading international law firm operating in the insurance sector in Latin America. The firm maintains its own offices in Mexico, Chile and Colombia as well as a strong and deepening relationship in Brazil but the final piece of the jigsaw has been Miami, a rapidly growing market through which an increasing amount of Latin American insurance and reinsurance business flows.”
Anthony Menzies, Latin American regional head, said: "Our presence in Miami now means we can serve even better the needs of our clients operating in the Latin American market.
“The move has been first and foremost a response to significant client demand and it is particularly exciting coming so soon after the announcement of our close relationship with Demarest in Brazil. Together, it means we now have a presence in the two leading Latin American insurance and reinsurance centres, São Paulo and Miami.”
