International reach[edit]

With market-leading insurance and dispute resolution practices in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Spain, and local lawyers based in its London office, DAC Beachcroft is uniquely placed to advise throughout Latin America, supported in particular by the firm's offices in London, Madrid and Miami. This provides the firm with access and local presence in the three most important LatAm insurance markets. Additionally, the firm has developed close working relationships in Brazil with Demarest Advogados, a full-service firm operating across all areas of commercial legal practice, and with leading insurance and reinsurance firm BLP in Central America.[citation needed]

DAC Beachcroft is a founding member of Legalign Global, a closely integrated alliance of four law firms, established in 2017, focused on the requirements of the international insurance market, operating from Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the USA, as well as the United Kingdom.

The firm has offices in Dublin, Madrid, Paris, Milan and Rome. Furthermore, in 2022, DAC Beachcroft signed a cooperation agreement to expand its relationship with existing Legalign Global partner BLD Bach Langheid Dallmayr, the market-leading insurance and liability law firm in Germany. Together, the two firms now have more lawyers in Europe than any other insurance-focused law firm.[citation needed]

DAC Beachcroft has an office in Singapore, which is a fully integrated part of the firm's global team, providing both domestic and international support, in particular to insurance clients. The firm has an association with Singapore independent Incisive Law, which it established in 2023. The firm also has a close relationship with Malaysian law firm Gan Partnership, based in Kuala Lumpur, providing insurance and reinsurance clients with a combination of DAC Beachcroft's experience within the international insurance and reinsurance sector, together with Gan Partnership's Malaysian law capability and first-class commercial and dispute resolution capabilities in Malaysia.[4]
