SRA board members

Solicitors Lisa Mayhew and Nicola Williams are joining the Board of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)

Mayhew, who joined this month, is co-chair of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, while Williams, due to join in September, is legal and compliance director and company secretary of Welsh Water. Existing SRA Board members Geoff Nicholas, Barry Matthews and Peter Higson all left at the end of 2021, and with Mayhew joining the next day, membership of the SRA Board reduced from 11 to nine.

Anna Bradley, Chair of the SRA Board, said: ‘We have an exciting programme of work planned over the coming years.’
