Multi-national law firm Pinsent Masons has promoted Niall Campbell (pictured) to the role of legal director in its Dublin office, effective from 1 May.

This is one of 19 promotions to legal director and 23 promotions to partner across the Pinsent Masons network, as the firm continues its transition to becoming a professional services business with law at the core.

Campbell is promoted from senior associate in the firm's insurance and reinsurance team.

Regulation

Ann Lalor, head of Pinsent Masons in Dublin, said: “As our first legal director in Dublin we are immensely proud of Niall.

“His promotion bolsters our financial-services capability, which sits at the core of our Dublin proposition. Niall has played an important part in building and expanding our insurance and reinsurance practice and we are delighted to see his hard work and dedication rewarded.”
