Caroline Thompson
Spear’s Review
A special counsel in the litigation team at Withers, Caroline Thompson frequently acts for clients in the public eye, HNW individuals and family offices.
The latter is of particular interest, and Thompson tells Spear’s that she has an ‘in-depth understanding of how family offices function and the types of considerations and factors which play into decision-making for such clients’.
She has acted in cases involving allegations of professional negligence, breach of confidence, blackmail, data protection and malicious falsehood. Her expert opinion is frequently sought by the media and industry publications, and she has shared her insight around the impact of cyber-stalking for those in the limelight and the key reputational and privacy risks faced by family offices.
