DAC Beachcroft has promoted four of its lawyers to partner after a November round favouring UK and Ireland-based lawyers.

Two partners, Adrian Cottam and Prakash Kerai, were made up in London with Caroline Cherry in Bristol and Rowena McCormack in Dublin completing the line up.

This takes the number of new partners made up by DAC Beachcroft this year to 13.

Cottam is now a partner in the firm’s claims solutions team, while Kerai sits in corporate.

Cherry has been made partner in professional and commercial risk after joining as a legal secretary in 2004.

Litigation partner McCormack rounds off the new partners, having joined the firm in 2012 from Matheson.

This is the second partner promotions announcement from DAC Beachcroft this year. It also made up nine lawyers to partner in May this year.
