Dr Hanrahan added: “Policy and legislative change, rapid innovation, and greater scrutiny of company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance create significant opportunities for clients, but understanding the emerging risks involved is crucial.

“I look forward to bringing a broader perspective to these issues and working with the team at JWS.”
