Laura Nuttall (ACG)
Director and Head of Company Secretarial, Governance & Compliance
Laura started her professional life as a corporate lawyer, qualifying as a solicitor with Denton Wilde Sapte (now Dentons) in 2000. Following 5 years at Dentons, including an 8-month stint in the Tokyo office, Laura moved to the McGrigors (now Pinsent Masons) corporate department where she worked on domestic and international M&A, joint ventures, IPOs and secondary fundraisings. During her time at McGrigors, Laura completed an 8-month secondment to the Corporate Finance Department of Evolution Securities and was a member of the legal committee of the QCA.
Laura joined ONE Advisory in 2011 and has turned her attention to how transactions and governance work “in real life”, aiming to identify and implement solutions for clients which are accessible and workable as well as academically sound. She is keenly aware of the resources gap between SMEs and listed giants and looks for ways to help ONE’s clients navigate their compliance and governance challenges as constructively and painlessly as possible.
Laura believes in the benefits of good governance and considers that many boards and their companies can benefit enormously from some relatively small shifts in approach, practice and behaviours. The 80:20 rule applies!
Laura holds ACG Chartered Secretary/Chartered Governance Professional status from The Corporate Governance Institute (formerly ICSA) and is a member of the QCA Corporate Governance Committee.
