(Alliance News) - DWF Group PLC on Wednesday said it has ramped up investment in its international business with 15 senior hires in two months.
The recruitment process, which includes 14 partners and one director, reflects DWF's focus on international growth, the Manchester-based legal services provider said.
DWF said its international business has grown strongly, increasing headcount and geographical footprint, most recently in Poland.
The firm said Majed Almarshad joined as a partner in its Dubai office on Wednesday. Almarshad - a Saudi-qualified lawyer - will serve as a commercial partner from AlDahbashi Gray.
Slava Kiryushin joined earlier this month from CMS, as a partner and head of the global energy & industrials sector, and Thenji Macanda joined from Taylor Wessing as co-head of the employment practice.
Other appointments were made in Australia, France, Poland, the UK, Italy, and Germany.
"It's been a significant period of recruitment for the business and we are delighted to welcome such a strong group of senior people across our international locations," said Chief Executive Andrew Leaitherland.
Shares were untraded on Wednesday morning in London, last quoted at 121 pence each.
