RPC

City firm RPC has announced the appointment of two partners, Nicola Cain in the London office and Carmel Green in Hong Kong.

Media specialist Nicola (pictured) joined RPC in February 2017. She was called to the Bar in 2008, and after training at media and entertainment law chambers 5RB, she went on to become a barrister and head of legal for the BBC. As a partner at RPC, she will continue to work in the firm’s media team from London, which sits within its IP and commercial group.

In Hong Kong, Carmel has also moved to a partnership position. She specialises in contentious insurance matters, with particular expertise in professional indemnity and financial lines. In addition to her work on behalf of insurers, she also heads the firm’s Female Insurance Group Asia.

RPC’s managing partner James Miller stated: ‘Nicola and Carmel are both outstanding lawyers, with all the attributes that make for successful partners at RPC. They are high performers, combining technical and commercial excellence with a deep commitment to client service – something we're well known for at RPC.

‘Media, technology and insurance are all significant areas of focus for us. Nicola and Carmel's appointments are a reflection of the importance we place at RPC on supporting these sectors and the ambition we have for expanding what we can offer to clients over the coming years. I'm very much looking forward to working with them both to help achieve those ambitions.’
