There is a new president/regional director at Charles Taylor P&I management, with Leanne O’Loughlin making the switch into the role.

O’Loughlin, who originally joined The Standard Club’s London office back in 2010, first made the move to New York back in 2013. Legally qualified in England, Wales and Ireland, as well as New York, she now succeeds LeRoy Lambert who has moved into the role of General Counsel – the first to be appointed to the New York office with the aim of enhancing the club’s in-house capabilities particularly in regards to the often complex area of US dispute resolution.

“This is a great move for all concerned and demonstrates the club’s long-term commitment to the Americas,” said Lambert. “I look forward very much to refocusing my time and energy on claims and supporting Leanne and the New York team in my new role.”

The Standard Club has actually had a presence in the US since long before its New York office was established back in 1998. However, that hub is seen by Eddy Morland, head of the club’s UK and Americas division, as key to future growth.

“The United States and Canada are key areas for The Standard Club, these appointments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the region and will enable the team to offer a more specific in house legal and dispute resolution service,” he said.
