Taylor Wessing appoints new board member and director of risk

Taylor Wessing has appointed Wendy Tomlinson to the firm’s Board as its new Director of Talent as of 1 November 2018.

Wendy joined the firm from Linklaters in 2015 as the firm's Head of Talent Development. She has since taken on responsibility for Talent advisory and resourcing activities and has driven forward our strategy to encourage talent to flourish.

Wendy's appointment to Director and the Board is as result of Liz Bunce-Grundy's decision to retire at the end of October.

The firm has also confirmed the appointment of Marianne Robson as its new Director of Risk. Marianne has been acting in this position since May 2018 and is already established in the role.

Congratulating them, Managing Partner Shane Gleghorn said: "I'm delighted that Marianne and Wendy will be taking on these roles and supporting us in driving our strategy. I have no doubt that their contribution will be instrumental in our continued growth, and I want to thank Liz Bunce-Grundy for her valuable contribution to our success over the past three years, and her continued commitment and loyalty to us."
