International law firm DAC Beachcroft has appointed regulatory partner Gemma Brannigan to its health, care and public law team.

Gemma joins from Clyde & Co where she acted predominantly for NHS trusts, NHS Resolution and private healthcare insurers, having previously been a partner at Capsticks. She has experience of inquests, inquiries and investigations in the health and social care sectors and has advised on many high-profile cases.

Nigel Montgomery, partner and head of health at DACB, said: “The healthcare sector remains under great pressure, which makes the handling of significant challenges increasingly important to ensure our clients can continue to deliver safe and high-quality care. A regulatory partner of Gemma’s calibre is therefore a fantastic addition to our very talented team.

“The breadth of expertise within our team already provides an unparalleled understanding of the healthcare market, but we continue to invest in our business to meet the needs of our clients both now and in the future.” 

Brannigan added: “I am very much looking forward to being a part of DACB’s already outstanding offering in the healthcare market.  The team’s strength in depth and collaborative approach offers great opportunities to support clients in their growing ambitions.”
