Workplace law firm Doyle Clayton has hired Benedicte Perowne to lead its regulatory team.

Perowne, who joins the firm from Osborne Clarke where she was partner, specialises in advising firms and individuals on regulatory and investigation issues.

Regular instructions include governance arrangements; regulatory reporting; rule interpretation; enforcement actions; whistleblowing; individual accountability and systems and controls. She also helps clients navigate AML and compliance.

At Doyle Clayton, Perowne will support clients in all areas of regulatory engagement, with a focus on individual misconduct, particularly concerning allegations of ‘non-financial misconduct’, including bullying, harassment and discrimination.

She will be based in the firm’s London and Reading offices.

Tina Wisener, CEO at Doyle Clayton, commented: 'We're delighted to welcome Benedicte to Doyle Clayton. Her exceptional regulatory expertise together with her fantastic commercial insights will be fundamental in helping our clients navigate the constantly changing, complex regulatory environment, as we continue to strengthen our capabilities and ambitions in this area.'

Perowne added: 'I'm thrilled to be joining Doyle Clayton at a time when regulatory scrutiny has become more integral than ever to how clients operate. The firm is packed full of brilliant lawyers and led by compassionate and responsible leaders, advising an incredible and busy client base. I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued success of the firm as we grow the practice, supporting existing and future clients with confident regulatory engagement.'
