Khurram Shamsee

DAC Beachcroft

Khurram Shamsee joined Beachcroft as an employment partner in 2010 and following its merger with DAC, was the most junior partner in the team. He took on the role of head of London employment in 2013. Since then, he has restructured and rebuilt the team into a market-leading practice, with a particular focus on high-value and complex whistleblowing and discrimination claims. In 2021, he was instructed by JP Morgan as the lead partner in the high-profile Employment Tribunal claim involving Bradley Jones, a former financial analyst and cash equities trader at JP Morgan who was dismissed for alleged gross misconduct.

In 2020, Shamsee also devised a strategy for building the firm’s financial services capabilities for banks, asset managers, wealth managers, hedge funds and private equity providers. DAC Beachcroft’s board and executive approved his strategy early last year. All Shamsee has to do now, as head of financial services, is deliver on it.
