RPC strengthens Employment team with Partner hire as Charlotte White returns to the firm

International law firm RPC has appointed Charlotte White as a Partner in its Employment, Engagement & Equality practice, further strengthening its client offering at a time of significant growth for the team.

A former Senior Associate at RPC (2010 – 2013), Charlotte joins from CloudPay, where she was General Counsel, Data Protection Officer, and a member of the Executive Leadership Team. During her time at CloudPay, a global payroll and treasury platform, Charlotte oversaw rapid international growth, expanding her legal team and acting as a director of eight of their group companies. She brings a unique skill set and experience focussed on complex employment matters, legal operations, and leadership at scale.

Patrick Brodie, Partner and Head Employment, Engagement & Equality, enthused: "It's wonderful to have Charlotte back at RPC. Her combination of legal skill, commercial acumen and board-level leadership is a rare and valuable asset. Charlotte expresses the warmth, values and culture we seek to nurture. It is these human qualities that will shape our success and which our clients ask us to strive for. As we continue to expand the team and respond to the growing number of complex disputes and demand for strategic employment advice, Charlotte will play a key role in realising our ambitions."

Charlotte's return reflects the dynamic evolution of the team. The RPC Employment team is set on a strong growth trajectory, and the practice is seeing increasing demand for advice on fast-moving developments in UK employment law, ESG-related employment issues, cross-border matters, and high-value, complex litigation and investigations.

Charlotte adds: "I'm thrilled to be returning to RPC. The Employment team has always been known for its excellent client service, collaborative culture and strong market reputation. I'm excited to bring my experience from in-house and private practice to help further the team's growth and support clients in navigating today's evolving world of work."
