DWF has acquired a 50-strong team from Bristol-based insurance disputes specialist Greenwoods, launching a Milton Keynes outpost to support the transfer. 

The team, which includes 11 partners and 23 legal professionals, is set to transfer to the expansive northwest firm at the end of the month.

Of the group, 17 lawyers will join DWF's London base with the same number helping to set up its new Milton Keynes office. Five partners will join in London and three partners in Milton Keynes.
