Stokoe Partnership Solicitors—Jarret Brown

Firm welcomes new head of compliance

Specialist criminal defence and litigation boutique law firm Stokoe Partnership Solicitors has announced the appointment of new head of compliance Jarret Brown, who joins the firm from Mishcon de Reya.

Jarret will head up the compliance function at Stokoe Partnership Solicitors, while also taking on a fee-earning role. Jarret’s experience is built on years of acting on both sides of the insurer/claimant divide for lenders, property investors and professional indemnity insurers.

In his previous role, Jarret oversaw any regulatory developments that may have impacted his firm, and he is experienced in ensuring firms meet all their obligations to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and act in line with their code of conduct, while maintaining a commercial outlook.

Commenting on Jarret’s appointment, founding partner of Stokoe Partnership Solicitors Bambos Tsiattalou said: ‘Jarret brings with him deep expertise and understanding of the compliance burdens for law firms in the current environment, which are of more importance than ever. He is a strong addition to our team and we are delighted to welcome him.’

Jarret said: ‘I am excited to join the talented team at Stokoe Partnership Solicitors and I look forward to working with my new colleagues across all three offices in London and Manchester, and to taking on a new challenge.’
