On secondment: Simon Johnson at Rugby Football Union

Simon Johnson is now Project Manager at Rugby Football Union. Simon Johnson was previously Consultant at Charles Russell LLP.

Charles Russell is delighted to announce that consultant Simon Johnson has been seconded to the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to act as Project Manager. Simon will assist with the implementation of the Slaughter and May report into governance of the RFU.

The 2011 Slaughter and May review recommended amendments to the RFU rules and regulations and the governing body’s current practice. Simon’s role, which is non-legal is expected to last for six months. The role is similar to a previous role undertaken by Simon in which he successfully implemented the Burns Report which recommended a restructuring of the Football Association.
