Caroline is a Partner at GQ|Littler who leads the firm's French Services, a bilingual and bicultural practice area she developed to advise francophone companies on their UK employees.

She has a solid track record of providing pragmatic, commercial solutions to difficult advisory matters, including disciplinary issues involving regulated or board level employees, business restructures and challenging employee relations issues (in particular where there are allegations of discrimination or whistleblowing). In 2019, she was seconded to Marsh & McLennan, assisting them through the transitional period following a high-profile acquisition. She also has significant litigation expertise and regularly advises on claims in the employment tribunal and high court.

Caroline frequently delivers training to financial services clients and representative bodies on a broad range of areas, including working behaviour, compliance with the Senior Managers and Certification Regime and the Conduct Rules.

Caroline is head of the Women's Leadership Initiative in London and co-leader of the initiative throughout Europe, as well as being a member of the global Women's Leadership Initiative Steering Committee, which focuses on developing and retaining women leaders at every level of the firm. She is also part of the ELA Pro Bono Committee, in which she was one of the founders of the award winning ELIPS scheme at employment tribunals across the country.

Caroline trained at Magic Circle firm Slaughter and May, qualifying into the employment and pensions department in 2010. She joined GQ|Littler as an Associate in 2011 and joined the partnership in 2019, having spent time in-house on secondment at both Marsh & McLennan Companies and Citibank.
