Lloyds Banking Group's two most senior lawyers have moved into a job-sharing arrangement, in a high-profile example of changing attitudes towards flexible working in the legal profession. Group general counsel Andrew Whittaker (pictured) and his deputy Kate Cheetham have agreed a flexible working plan following Whittaker's move to the bank in May from the Financial Services Authority, where he was also GC. Though Cheetham works full time, she effectively shares the leadership of the legal team with Whittaker, who is contracted to a 0.6 full-time equivalent post. The duo said Whittaker's regulatory experience complements former Linklaters lawyer Cheetham's background in corporate law.
