Based in Edinburgh, she will work alongside recently appointed insurance regulatory and commercial legal director, Chris Riach, who has rejoined Pinsent Masons after several years in-house with a large life insurer.

Colin Read, partner and head of regulatory, insurance & funds at Pinsent Masons, said: “We are delighted to welcome Caroline to the team and her extensive retail banking and regulatory expertise will undoubtedly improve our overall offering to financial services clients in Scotland and further afield.

“Together with the earlier appointment of Chris Riach in Edinburgh, this signals a clear commitment to strengthening our capabilities in what is a dynamic and competitive market.

“Our enlarged Scottish team also benefits from Pinsent Masons’ wider London and international presence as we support clients looking to explore global growth opportunities.”
