Caroline’s practice is relationship-led and has been built advising clients as they grow, creating opportunities to support them across multiple specialisms as their needs evolve.

Marc Proudfoot, Head of Corporate & Capital Raising, added:

“We are very pleased Caroline is joining the team. Her experience and approach align closely with our Corporate & Capital Raising specialism and our focus on partnering with a range of clients from mid-market growth businesses and their founders to institutional investors and individuals investing in UK equity and real estate. Her appointment reflects the continued momentum of our Corporate & Capital Raising specialism.”
