Cheshire law firm Poole Alcock makes key appointment

A Cheshire law firm has made a key appointment which will lead to new service offers in areas including corporate criminal work, crisis management and regulatory compliance.

Natascha Gaut joins Poole Alcock as Head of Regulatory Services.

She spent over a decade with multi-national law firm Eversheds Sutherland.

Poole Alcock has offices across Cheshire and a presence in cities across the UK, including London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Natascha said: “I’m very much looking forward to establishing a new regulatory services team at Poole Alcock.

“I will bolster the existing offering of commercial and corporate services.

“My appointment allows the firm to not only advise, corporates and individuals, on civil law issues but also provide a service to those who find themselves facing a criminal investigation by any regulatory body.

“Poole Alcock has a fantastic regional presence and is now in position to grow its corporate services offer across the UK.

“There is an opportunity to provide a vital service to Poole Alcock clients and to grow a new client base.”

Sarah-Jane Dunhill, Partner and Head of Commercial and Civil Litigation at Poole Alcock LLP, said: “Natascha’s arrival is incredibly exciting for Poole Alcock because of the niche area of law being offered.

“We are proud to say that this makes us one of only a handful of law firms outside of the large city centre based firms who can offer such a well-rounded service to our clients, offering the full range of legal services that may be needed by both companies and individuals alike.”
