National law firm DWF appoints Bell Pottinger North

18.02.2010

The campaign will be overseen by associate director Richard Clein at the Liverpool office of Bell Pottinger North and consultants from the agency's Macclesfield and Leeds offices will provide local support to DWF's teams.

"Even during the downturn, DWF has bucked the trend by continuing to expand and has successfully attracted key partners and teams from rival firms," said Bell Pottinger director John Butters.

"While other law firms have been cutting back, DWF's investment has paid off with expansion both in the range of services it offers and the number of people it employs to advise clients.

"Our campaign will position DWF favourably in each of the markets in which it operates as well as at a national level within the legal sector and the key vertical industries which it serves."

Lisa Robinson-Behnejad, head of marketing and communications at DWF said: We chose Bell Pottinger North as the consultancy has the national reach, coupled with the local support that will provide us with the strategic consultancy we require to take our communications to the next level.

"We will be looking to increase our visibility as thought leaders and, by having consultants close to our largest offices, Bell Pottinger is ideally placed to provide both the national and local communications support that we need."

Bell Pottinger North, based in Macclesfield, is the largest public relations consultancy in the north of England. It also has offices in Leeds and Liverpool.
