David Richardson has been appointed as the new Compliance Officer at Rollits LLP.
During his almost 20 years as a solicitor at a Newcastle-based firm, David specialized in disputed liability, alleged fraud, RTA cases, and employer and public liability cases.
After becoming an IT development manager in 2016, he took on the role of a compliance officer of the firm’s medical agency in 2018, handling issues related to Ministry of Justice guidelines, complaints, data protection matters, and medical expert panel management.
David said:
“I am delighted to join such a well-regarded firm as Rollits – compliance is the cornerstone of a reputable and sustainable legal practice and the creation of this new role highlights how seriously the firm takes its obligations to ensure that legal and ethical standards are upheld and risks are identified and managed.”
A member of Rollits’ Operations Team, David will be responsible for all operational matters, including risk management, across the firm’s offices in Hull and York. The firm’s compliance with regulations and internal policies will be monitored by him as well as educating partners and staff on the impact of noncompliance and compliance regulations.
After graduating from Northumbria University and completing his Legal Practice Course, David enjoys travelling, cooking, eating out, and watching Newcastle United and Barcelona.
