Leading international law firm Clifford Chance announces it has promoted Judith Seddon to Director, Business Crime and Regulatory Enforcement in the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice.

With regulators becoming increasingly aggressive and criminal investigations on the increase, Judith has brought a vital and complementary skill set and perspective to the group, which has enhanced the strength and depth of expertise we can offer to clients.
