BRG Hires Declan Redmond in Construction-Focussed Business Development Role

BRG has appointed Declan Redmond as a managing director in the firm’s Global Construction practice. In a broad role which will cover business development and client services, strategy and practice management, his remit will span Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia–Pacific (APAC) and the Americas, with a particular focus on key markets across the Middle East and in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

Redmond has over 40 years’ experience in the professional services sector, including three decades at Wilberforce Chambers, most recently as its chief executive, and almost a decade at Keating Chambers as its CEO and director of Clerking. Alongside his deep sector expertise in construction and engineering, his wealth of experience spans key BRG service lines including antitrust and competition, commercial disputes, litigation and international arbitration, and forensic accounting and investigations. 

Commenting on Redmond’s appointment, Michael Kenyon, a managing director in BRG’s Global Construction practice and head of the firm’s Dubai office, said: “BRG is seeing substantial growth across the board and particularly in EMEA and APAC. Declan joins us at a significant time for the business, and we are confident that his expertise and wide-ranging experience will prove invaluable to driving our future success”. 

Redmond commented: “This role will allow me to marry up the best of my professional experience acquired across both the legal and consulting worlds. BRG is renowned for its progressive vision and extensive experience across key dispute resolution centres globally, and I look forward to joining their talented team to help drive new opportunities in key markets”. 

Redmond’s appointment underscores BRG’s growth momentum internationally, and the firm expects to announce further significant hires in its Construction practice over the coming months. Recently, BRG has appointed renowned experts Prof. Pablo T. Spiller, Dr. Manuel A. Abdala and Michael Seelhof to its international arbitration and cross-border disputes group in New York; added a team of economic consultants to its Competition practice in Brussels; and opened offices in Rome and Milan.
