Beauchamps is delighted to announce the appointment of five new partners, adding expertise and depth to our partnership and strengthening our commercial litigation, insurance, public and regulatory and medical negligence teams.

Missing media item.

The talented new partners reflect the continuing growth in demand for Beauchamps' practical and solutions-oriented approach to protecting their client's businesses and resolving disputes. With these new appointments, 44% of partners at Beauchamps are now women, emphasising how gender diversity remains a key focus as the firm continues to grow.

Commenting on the appointments, John White, Managing Partner at Beauchamps, welcomed the new appointments by saying: "As a proudly partner-led law firm, it is vital we continue to appoint partners that are the best in their fields. Our five new partners have demonstrated exceptional legal and commercial judgement, with a real commitment to teamwork and providing efficient and knowledgeable advice to clients, all characteristics that are central to the Beauchamps ethos."
