Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) corporate finance partner Frances McLeman has been seconded to Tesco as the firm looks to strengthen its ties with the supermarket giant.

McLeman joined Tesco earlier this year to stand in for insurable risk director Julia Penfold after she left the super-market chain to join Goldman Sachs. McLeman is advising on insurance claims while the company finds a permanent replacement for Penfold.
