Robert Hingley
Chairman
I am Chairman of the Board and Nomination Committee and a member of the Remuneration Committee of The Law Debenture Corporation plc. After joining the Board in October 2017, I became Chairman at the conclusion of the AGM on 11 April 2018.
I am a corporate financier with over 30 years' experience. I joined the Association of British Insurers as Director of Investment Affairs in 2012 and following the merger of ABI's Investment Affairs with the Investment Management Association, acted as a consultant to the enlarged IMA until the end of 2014. From 2010 until 2015, I was a Managing Director, and later Senior Advisor, at Lazard. I was previously Director-General of The Takeover Panel from 2007, on secondment from Lexicon Partners, where I was Vice Chairman. Prior to joining Lexicon Partners in 2005, I was Co-Head of the Global Financial Institutions Group and Head of German Investment Banking at Citigroup Global Capital Markets, which acquired the investment banking business of Schroders in 2000. I joined Schroders in 1985 after having qualified as a solicitor with Clifford Chance in 1984.
I am currently the chairman of Phoenix Spree Deutschland Limited and Euroclear UK and International Limited and chairman of Governors at North London Collegiate School and trustee at the Bishopsgate Institute. I am also a non-executive director of Marathon Asset Management and a member of the Takeover Panel.
