Ex-Barclays GC takes bank to court
Judith Shepherd, a former general counsel at Barclays Capital, has filed a claim against her ex-employer in the High Court.
Fox Williams, acting on behalf of Shepherd, lodged a claim in the Commercial Court on 22 January against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank and Barclays Execution Services, The Lawyer reported.
Law firm Simmons & Simmons has been instructed as the bank’s defending solicitors.
Shepherd worked for nine years at Barclays, which culminated in her being named GC of Barclays’ investment banking division. She left in 2015.
The Lawyer reported the claim surrounds a long-running matter over capital raising arrangements in Qatar.
