Caroline Thompson

Spear’s Review

A special counsel in the litigation team at Withers, Caroline Thompson frequently acts for clients in the public eye, and has carved out a niche in advising family offices.

‘Family offices are quite vulnerable to reputational risk,’ Thompson tells Spear’s. ‘A lot of our family office clients want to be under the radar; they don’t want to be out there. ... What that means is if you don’t have a profile online, you’re quite vulnerable to misinformation attacks.’

Thompson mitigates these risks by putting preventative measures in place, such as drawing up family charters and working with professionals to conduct a digital audit. But when things go sour, she has plenty of experience in cases involving allegations of professional negligence, breach of confidence, blackmail, fraud, data protection violations and malicious falsehood.
