The move, which is part of DWF’s wider commitment to developing legal talent also reflects the strength of the company’s positioning in the local market. Although the majority of its staff have been working from home due to Covid-19, the company’s workload has been intense, driven largely by the needs of its clients in key sectors including real estate, construction and insurance.

Ranked by the Financial Times as the seventh most innovative law firm in Europe and as a Top 10 Employer for Working Families, Ken Rutherford, executive partner of DWF’s Belfast office said: “The development of fresh talent is part of the culture and ethos of DWF and we are delighted to be able to welcome these new recruits to support the highly specialised teams in our Belfast office.
