About us

DAC Beachcroft (DACB) has expanded its international reach to the United States with the opening of offices in New York and Los Angeles. Our new US team brings together highly skilled insurance-focused professionals from two leading US law firms, including five experienced partners and over 27 talented lawyers and staff. This expansion strengthens our ability to provide expert legal services across the globe, particularly in the insurance sector. With a rich history of advising global and US insurers, we are now even better positioned to support our clients’ needs across key markets.

Where we do not yet have a physical presence, we maintain strong relationships with leading partner firms to ensure our clients receive seamless, high-quality legal services wherever they are needed.

Joining from a leading US law firm, Lawrence Klein and Gilbert Lee are renowned specialists in insurance coverage, bringing extensive experience in resolving complex coverage disputes. Their expertise spans a wide range of areas, including complex risk transfer programmes, construction projects, environmental disasters, product defects, terrorism, healthcare, and more. They represent clients in disputes across both state and federal courts, as well as before arbitration panels.

George Vogrin and Michael Frimet, joining from a respected insurance boutique, specialise in coverage and reinsurance matters, with a particular focus on general liability, entertainment, contingency, accident and health, and property. Their longstanding expertise includes advising global insurers and the London Insurance Market on both admitted and excess & surplus lines products.

Greg Lahr is a highly experienced complex commercial litigation lawyer who represents insurers across the US, UK, and Bermuda on coverage matters, including general liability, financial lines, D&O, professional liability, product recall, and employment practices claims.
