Firm makes two key appointments to UK board
Taylor Wessing has announced the appointment of Liz Bunce-Grundy as international HR director and Rachel Reid as COO.
Liz joins from Cushman & Wakefield where she was international HR director and a member of the global management committee and European board. Previously she was global and UK HR director at Clifford Chance, a position she held for four years and she was head of global employment policy and systems at Allen & Overy for two years prior to this.
Rachel will join in early February from King & Wood Mallesons (formerly SJ Berwin), where she worked for five years as European COO. She brings with her a wealth of senior management and legal sector experience, having been one of the core deal team that led the negotiation of the merger between SJ Berwin and King & Wood Mallesons.
Tim Eyles, managing partner of Taylor Wessing, says: "It's great to be welcoming two such heavy hitting professionals. Their combination of international experience and track record of delivering large scale innovation will be invaluable as we pursue our ambitious growth strategy in such a fast-paced market.
