Charlie George Rothera Dowson

Rothera Dowson has hired Charlie George as its new managing partner.

Charlie, who has been with the firm since 1988, is well placed to lead the firm, having been part of Rothera Dowson’s management committee for seven years.
 
He brings with him his vast experience of dealing with regulatory compliance, having led the firm to LEXCEL accreditation in 2008 and in 2011 steered it through the changes required under Outcomes Focused Regulation. These actions have placed Rothera Dowson in a strong position to face the significant challenges of the future for law firms, namely the introduction of Alternative Business Structures, which will allow some legal matters to be handled by non-law firms.
