DAC Beachcroft tapped Ben Daniels as their next senior partner, and he takes over from Virginia Clegg when her second five-year stint wraps up. The commercial litigation guy has been grinding at the firm since 2008 and runs their Bristol office while leading the dispute resolution crew there. Helen Faulkner just got elected as managing partner last month, so the leadership shuffle is happening across the board.
Clegg helped blow up the firm's revenue from 200 million to 348 million during her run, and profit per equity partner more than doubled to over 750k. The firm went hard on global expansion under her watch, opening offices in New York, Los Angeles, Peru, and Hong Kong recently, plus they added spots in Italy, Argentina, France, and Northern Ireland earlier. Daniels will chair the group board and work with leadership to keep the growth train moving when he officially starts the gig.
