Important milestone
Announcing the appointment, Matheson’s managing partner Michael Jackson said Tara Doyle had been recognised by peers and by legal journals as one of the leading financial services lawyers in Europe and one of Europe’s leading female lawyers.
“Her appointment represents an important milestone for the firm and a significant personal achievement for Tara.” he added.
