DWF has completed its acquisition of NeoLaw, the costs division of Keely.

The new personnel will be split between DWF’s London and Birmingham offices. Simon Murray has been appointed as the firm’s new head of costs, while Steven Dawson will remain in his current position as senior technical director within the costs department.
