DAC Beachcroft has bolstered the partnership ranks at the newly-merged firm with two internal promotions and a lateral hire from Pinsent Masons.

The firm – formed by the merger of Beachcroft and Davies Arnold Cooper (DAC) earlier this week (31 October) – has made up two legacy Beachcroft associates, Claire Reynolds and Julitta Yates, in its Leeds and Bristol office respectively.

Reynolds specialises in employment and pensions, while Yates joins the partnership in the firm's real estate team.
