DAC Beachcroft adds complex and catastrophic injury expertise with double partner hire in Manchester

DAC Beachcroft has appointed catastrophic and large loss claims specialists Philip D’Netto and Daniel Clegg as partners in its national complex and catastrophic injury practice.

D’Netto and Clegg, who have joined DAC Beachcroft’s Manchester office, both moved from Plexus Law. There, D’Netto has led its catastrophic injury team since 2018, working with Clegg who joined as a partner in 2017.

Both are highly respected insurance practitioners, with more than 40 years of combined experience of resolving complex, catastrophic injury claims, acting for London market and UK general insurers, as well as public sector organisations and global logistics companies.

Craig Dickson, chief executive officer of DAC Beachcroft’s claims solutions group, said: “This double partner hire is a very significant appointment for our claims solutions group, as we look to implement our ambitious plans to build our catastrophic and complex injury claims offering in Manchester and deliver a truly national capability to our insurer clients. Philip and Daniel will play key roles in enabling us to achieve these strategic aims, at a regional and national level.”
