Three solicitors in its Glasgow office are among 17 promotions to partner and 18 to legal director across international law firm DAC Beachcroft, from 1 May 2022.  

Annis MacKay and Karen Railton advance to partner, while David Magee becomes a legal director.

Ms MacKay specialises in defending high value claims, including catastrophic injuries, on behalf of insurer clients, and Ms Railton in the defence of individuals and organisations in health & safety investigations and prosecutions and road traffic prosecutions, heading the Criminal Motor Defence team in Scotland. Mr Magee's focus is on providing advice to insurers and defending litigated Industrial Disease claims.

Managing partner David Pollitt commented: "Congratulations to our new partners and legal directors on their well deserved promotions. On behalf of the entire firm, I want to wish them every continued success in their careers and thank them for their contributions to our business so far.  

"Our aim is to be the place where talented people want to work, and it’s especially pleasing to note that 35% of our new partners started their careers at DACB. Investing in and helping our colleagues succeed means we can better help our clients succeed. It’s all part of our culture and how we deliver bespoke solutions, one client at a time."
