Lloyd’s has announced interim General Counsel Claire Schrader will continue in the role permanently. 

Ms Schrader took the position in August last year after Peter Spires stepped down following a seven-year tenure.   

She began working at Lloyd’s in 2000 as a solicitor before becoming head of legal in 2017.   

“During Claire’s time at Lloyd’s she has built a strong reputation among her colleagues in the corporation and throughout the market as a trusted legal adviser,” Lloyd’s CEO John Neal said.  

“She is a great role model for our future leaders, and I’m extremely pleased to confirm her permanently in a role which is critical to Lloyd’s delivering on its strategic priorities.”
