Its 100-strong Belfast team has extended its specialisms to a range of multinational businesses, insurers, High Street retailers and supermarket chains operating in Northern Ireland.
Ken Rutherford, Managing Partner of DWF’s Belfast office commented: "I’m proud and delighted with the growth of our team. Our track record, together with our strong team culture continues to attract the top talent which is further good news for our clients.”
