Keoghs bolsters credit hire proposition with hire of leading lawyers

Top 40 law firm, Keoghs, today announced it has bolstered its credit hire offering with the recruitment of Ieuan Poole and two other senior lawyers.

Poole joins the firm’s market-leading credit hire team from DAC Beachcroft, bringing significant experience in complex and strategic litigation. He has worked closely with many of Keoghs’ existing credit hire clients at senior level and boasts an impressive track record, having been involved in several landmark cases that have shaped the legal landscape, including the Court of Appeal decision in Davis v Yousaf and the Supreme Court decision of Armstead v Royal & Sun Alliance.

In addition, Catherine Jones will join the firm’s complex credit hire team as a multi-track lawyer, also from DAC Beachcroft, and Mark Sanderson returns from Clyde & Co.

Gary Herring, Partner and Head of Credit Hire at Keoghs, commented:

“I am delighted to have Ieuan on board, having followed his development for some time. He is a renowned technical specialist in his field with an excellent reputation in the industry, but even more importantly I have been extremely impressed by both his commercial awareness and his dedication to delivering the very highest levels of service. He, along with Catherine and Mark, will bolster our technical capability at a very exciting time of anticipated further growth, and I look forward to working closely with them to continue to evolve our offering to meet our clients’ needs in a challenging and fast-moving market.”

Ieuan Poole added:

“I am excited to join the team at Keoghs and be a part of the continued growth within their credit hire offering. I’m particularly pleased to have the opportunity to continue building strong relationships with some truly great clients. I am also eager to contribute to Keoghs’ ongoing success and further solidify its already significant impact within the dynamic credit hire market.”
