Eryl Besse
Eryl Besse is a lawyer who sits on the board of Britain's Charity Commission, where she will help assess the 'public benefit' of charitable organisations.
Background
- Mrs Besse is a native Welsh speaker. She has over 30 years’ experience of the practice of law in 3 international law firms. She was a partner at both Linklaters and Debevoise & Plimpton, where she had a track record of completing large, complex, time sensitive projects. She has had experience in a number of civil society organisations and is currently a Member of the Development Committee, Campaign Board at Magdalen College School, Oxford.[1]
Her transfer from Linklaters to Debevoise & Plimpton was considered to be something of a coup, with Besse regarded as one of the top banking and finance lawyers in Linklaters' Paris arm.[2]
Her appointment to the Charity Commission was announced later than the other 6 members' because Francis Maude, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, was required to consult the Welsh government about the appointment, the Cabinet Office said.[3]
