However, the firm intends to build a specialist team at LG. Commenting on his decision to join LG, Everett said: "I was attracted by the fact that they have some good clients in the regulatory sphere. "Also they are fantastically enthusiastic about the potential for continued growth and the need for regulatory work, especially in the financial services field."LG managing partner Hugh Maule said: "The need has never been greater for our clients to exercise great care in managing their corporate and regulatory risk. We are glad to welcome such a widely respected figure to our financial services team."LG's hire comes as the FSA takes an increasingly proactive stance in the wake of the global credit crisis. The body kicked off a panel review earlier this year and is currently preparing to unveil the line-up on its first ever formal adviser roster.
