Doyle Clayton—Benedicte Perowne

Workplace law firm appoints new head of regulatory team

Workplace law firm Doyle Clayton has appointed Benedicte Perowne to head up its regulatory team. She joins from Osborne Clarke, where she was a partner, bringing nearly 20 years of experience advising firms and individuals on complex regulatory and investigation issues. She will be based in the firm’s London and Reading offices.

Perowne specialises in translating complex regulatory matters into practical boardroom outcomes. Her work includes governance arrangements, regulatory reporting, rule interpretation, enforcement actions, whistleblowing, individual accountability and systems and controls. She also advises on AML and compliance, horizon scanning regulatory developments and litigation risk, and has significant experience leading investigations and advising clients following their conclusion. At Doyle Clayton, she will focus in particular on individual misconduct, including allegations of ‘non-financial misconduct’ such as bullying, harassment and discrimination.

Tina Wisener, ceo, said: ‘We’re delighted to welcome Benedicte to Doyle Clayton. Her exceptional regulatory expertise together with her fantastic commercial insights will be fundamental in helping our clients navigate the constantly changing, complex regulatory environment.’

Perowne said: ‘I’m thrilled to be joining Doyle Clayton at a time when regulatory scrutiny has become more integral than ever to how clients operate,’ adding that she is ‘looking forward to contributing to the continued success of the firm as we grow the practice, supporting existing and future clients with confident regulatory engagement.’
