International law firm DAC Beachcroft has reappointed Udara Ranasinghe to serve a second term as Location Head for its London headquarters. His new three-year term will begin from 1 May 2025.
Udara is a partner in the firm’s Employment, Pensions and Immigration practice and specialises in healthcare-focused employment law. He is also a member of DAC Beachcroft’s LLP Group Board.
“It's an honour to be entrusted once again with leading our London office," said Udara. "The Walbrook is a welcoming and vibrant community of colleagues and, as the firm's global headquarters, the place where our colleagues and clients from around the world can come together and collaborate.
"Over the next three years I plan to build on what has been achieved in my first term, from continuing to develop our brand in the London market and positioning DACB as a leader on the key issues affecting our clients, to nurturing a flexible and inclusive workplace for our colleagues, supporting up-and-coming talent as they enter the legal profession, and more."
“Thank you to my fellow partners and colleagues for the support and trust they have placed in me, and I look forward to continuing to lead our London team over the next three years.”
DACB’s Senior Partner Virginia Clegg added, “Udara has been an excellent leader for our London office throughout his first term, supporting initiatives that are benefitting our clients, colleagues and communities. I look forward to working with him again during his second term."
DACB’s headquarters are in the Walbrook Building, London, EC4N, and it is the home office for 450 colleagues.
