About

Barclays Insurance’s legal and compliance head, PCF-approved Laura Doherty wears several hats at once, as the company’s money laundering reporting officer, company secretary and data protection officer. Her wide remit gives her significant influence over the institution’s procedures and conduct. With impressive experience spanning private practice and multinational insurers, Doherty has, in her words, ‘gained considerable exposure to legal practice, financial services, corporate governance, risk and compliance, at a pan-European level’. She has been described as an excellent communicator who works closely with senior management teams and committees on policy development. During her time at Aviva Europe she devised the governance programme for its Claims Centre of Excellence and assessed compliance and regulation across all its European claims markets.
