We are pleased to announce that Jessica Reed has joined the firm as a partner. Jessica joins the London office from Farrer & Co., where she led its Asset Managers and Investment Funds sector. She is a funds and financial regulatory specialist with significant experience advising firms on UK and European regulatory frameworks.

Jessica supports clients across the full lifecycle of funds, including structuring, authorisation, governance and ongoing compliance, with a particular focus on navigating complex and evolving regulatory requirements, including cross-border issues. She has advised extensively on ESG regulation, including UK SDR, SFDR and TCFD reporting obligations, and she has assisted funds in obtaining UK sustainability labels.

Jessica also brings significant experience of advising within the retail financial services and private wealth space. She has advised wealth managers, banks, platforms, payment service providers, corporate advisory firms, placement agents, charities, endowments and high net worth individuals on all manner of contractual, transactional and regulatory issues.

Her appointment will further strengthen our funds, financial services, ESG and private wealth capabilities, complementing the firm’s established strengths in advising on fund establishment, investment strategies and regulatory developments.

“Burges Salmon has a stellar reputation in retail financial services and asset management and I am delighted to be joining at such an exciting time. The strength of its financial services and funds offering, combined with its expertise in ESG and private wealth and its collaborative culture, make it a compelling platform. I look forward to working with colleagues to support clients navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.”
