Caroline Ramsay

TLT

Six months before Britain left the European Union, Caroline Ramsay had an idea. A state aid lawyer by training, she told the management at TLT that forming a stand-alone international trade group within the firm would be a worthwhile plan. Two years down the line, that good idea now looks like a great one.

Ramsay’s 2021 was a rousing success. It began with her leading TLT’s successful pitch to win a place on the UK Government’s Department for International Trade (DIT) panel. The firm has since been handed two significant mandates by the DIT to advise it on trade deals in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and on the impending negotiations to hammer out a free-trade agreement with India.

The lengths Ramsay has go to in order to ensure she understands her clients’ needs are impressive, too. As the calendar changed from 2020 to 2021, Ramsay was on secondment at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. This is a partner who cares about knowing her client from the inside out.
