Thursday 06 February 2020

IQ-EQ has appointed a new Client Services Director in its Funds and Institutional team.

Financial services lawyer Simon Morris, who will be taking on the role, has experience working across legal and commercial areas including regulation and corporate governance, banking and securitisation and asset financing.

“Throughout my career I’ve always had a genuine interest in the ‘bigger picture’; a desire to understand the unique requirements of each client’s business and an eagerness to expand my horizons – so when the opportunity to join the growing IQ-EQ team came about I knew it was the right move for me," Mr Morris said.

"IQ-EQ is on an extremely exciting commercial journey and I’m looking forward to playing my part in its future success.”

Malcolm Macleod, Head of Funds and Institutional in Jersey, added: “When we set out to recruit for this position we were singularly focused on attracting a top tier candidate who possessed not just the necessary technical skills but who also epitomised a high degree of EQ as having both is the secret to forging meaningful and lasting client relationships.

"I’m delighted to be welcoming someone of Simon’s calibre to the team and look forward to benefitting from the depth and breadth of his combined legal and commercial experience. Welcome to the team, Simon.”
