Alasdair Peacock, Managing Partner comments, “I am delighted that Carole is joining Biggart Baillie. The increase in criminal and other regulatory sanctions across all business sectors means that compliance and corporate defence issues have been moving rapidly up the boardroom agenda, not least because this can often lead to personal liability for directors.”
