Having trained in London, she moved to Jersey in the 1990s where she became a partner in a local law firm. She was then appointed European Senior Counsel to a financial services business heading up a European-based team of legal and corporate secretarial professionals responsible for internal legal affairs and governance in the alternative investment services division.
In July 2012, Julia left her executive role to focus on the independent provision of directorship and governance services to a small number of alternative investment fund vehicles. Julia has experience, dating back to the mid-1990s, of sitting on the boards of alternative investment funds (private equity, hedge and real estate). She has more recently taken on directorships in the listed space which has added an increasingly deep knowledge of the trends and themes of governance issues to her expertise.
“One of the greatest benefits of our longstanding relationship with Altair, and in particular with Julia, is the depth of understanding they have developed of our business, its history and objectives and the dynamics that influence decision-making. We have found all Altair directors to be experienced, commercial and credible with exceptionally good knowledge of both regulatory and corporate governance issues.”Matthew Crill Head of Corporate Governance, Jersey
