With expertise spanning the construction, real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, leisure, transport and utilities sectors, DAC Beachcroft LLP is regularly instructed to handle the gamut of health and safety cases, including those with an environmental element. The team is also noted for its non-contentious strength, and typically leverages the firm’s breadth to provide cross-departmental regulatory advice. Chris Baranowski oversees the national practice from the Leeds office, with Richard Ottley taking the helm in Bristol. In January 2023, the group benefitted from the arrival of legal director Peter James, formerly of Clyde & Co.
