Law and business services firm DWF has expanded its Belfast office with the recruitment of ten new legal professionals.

The Queen Street-based operation will also add six newly qualified solicitors to its team.

DWF said it will enhance the firms’ capabilities across key energy, real estate, construction, dispute resolution, and insurance.

Among the recent hires are Alan Bissett, who joins as a consultant in the regulatory team, Nick Nolan as a senior associate in real estate, and Stephen McGuigan as an associate, and Lauren Hamilton as a solicitor in construction.

Associate Charlene Mullin and solicitor Andy Lungley have joined the business’ Catastrophic Personal Injury (CAT PI) team, while the motor and fraud team has welcomed associates Claire Flynn and Catherine Ashbury, and solicitors Aaron Steele and Catherine Crawford.

“As we continue to grow our presence in Belfast, I am thrilled to welcome these talented professionals to our team,” said managing partner of DWF in Belfast, Julie Galbraith.

“Their expertise and fresh perspectives will be invaluable as we strengthen our service offerings across key sectors.

“At DWF, we are committed to fostering an environment that supports professional development and collaboration, and these new appointments reflect that dedication.”
