The risk advisory specialist led EY's banking and capital markets group
Former EY banking and capital markets lead Doug Nixon has joined Clayton Utz as its newest partner.
Nixon comes in with over two decades of risk advisory experience and has worked with business leaders and board directors at global organisations.
“We know that business leaders and board directors are facing complex and ever-changing challenges, both at a business and individual level. From cyber and privacy risks, to governance and environmental risks, we're seeing an increased need for risk advice from clients across industries”, Clayton Utz chair Ross McInnes said. “With Doug's appointment we'll be able to broaden and strengthen the strategic risk advisory advice we offer some of Australia's largest businesses as they navigate their shifting challenges”.
Nixon has advised regulated infrastructure organisations and state-owned corporations. He has also tackled matters involving financial services, insurance and superannuation.
In addition to leading the banking and capital markets team, he previously headed up EY Oceania’s financial services risk management practice. He has handled issues in the European and US markets.
“Risk advisory work is a core component of our client offering and Doug's experience will complement our existing specialised expertise in cyber security, investigations, data analytics and eDiscovery”, McInnes said.
