Deloitte—Peggy Pauwels

Legal management consulting business appoints partner

Deloitte Legal has recently announced the appointment of Peggy Pauwels as a new partner in its Legal Management Consulting (LMC) team.

Peggy will focus on the consumer and TMT industries within Deloitte Legal’s LMC business unit and will also lead on the LMC team’s talent management programme. Peggy brings to Deloitte Legal over 25 years of experience as a lawyer and commercial contract specialist. She joins from Visa where she was the European head of commercial contract management, and has previously also held legal and business transformation roles with Capita and BT. 

Commenting on her appointment, Peggy said: 'Now is an exciting time to be working with consumer and TMT businesses, both industries having rapidly adapted for changing consumer expectations and upscaled for greater reliance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am pleased to be able to expand Deloitte Legal’s services to these industries, assist them in embedding contract life cycle management within their commercial operations as they further transition into future business models and tackle the legal and contracting considerations that significant change warrants.'

Jack Diggle, global lead partner for Deloitte’s Legal Management Consulting practice, added: 'Peggy’s strong focus on transformation means she brings a unique set of skills and experiences that bridge the legal and commercial world within the contract lifecycle. With her consumer and TMT specialism and in-depth operational understanding of these businesses, Peggy is well-placed to build out LMC’s legal offering to clients operating in these specialist areas which often demand their own, unique challenges.'
