Helen Faulkner

DAC Beachcroft

The head of DAC Beachcroft’s insurance practice, Helen Faulkner is one of the driving forces behind the growth across all of the key lines in her sector group. Of course, these days it is a given that a lawyer in her position is client-focused, but where Faulkner is superlative is at connecting people, putting teams together and engendering collaboration.

With DACB’s core insurance clients continuing to face significant pressures such as consolidation, challenges as well as opportunities arising from the use of new technology such as artificial intelligence, and shifts in demographics and a general trend for a move to global panels by an increasing number of clients, the need for the firm to deliver its services in a seamless, joined-up and global way has never been greater.

Expect to see Faulkner spending even more of her time in 2020 connecting DACB people and clients right across the business, from Birmingham and London to Madrid and beyond.
