Former NatWest CEO Alison Rose joins law firm Mishcon de Reya as advisor

Former NatWest CEO Alison Rose has joined Mishcon de Reya as an advisor, the British law firm said on Tuesday, with a focus on its equity, diversity and inclusion strategy. Rose resigned from NatWest in July last year after admitting to a "serious error of judgment" in discussing former Brexit party leader Nigel Farage's relationship with the bank with a BBC journalist. The bank had faced intense scrutiny from media and politicians over a decision by its private banking arm Coutts to close Farage's accounts.

LONDON (Reuters) - Former NatWest CEO Alison Rose has joined Mishcon de Reya as an advisor, the British law firm said on Tuesday, with a focus on its equity, diversity and inclusion strategy.

Tracing its roots back to a firm founded in 1937, Mishcon de Reya is one of Britain's most well-known law firms, representing Diana, Princess of Wales in her divorce in 1995. (Reporting By Lawrence White).
