The Lawyer newspaper reports that Katie Marshall – who previously worked with Mr Fitzpatrick at Northern Rock, including a position on the team that oversaw the bank’s takeover by Virgin Money – was appointed to the position at the end of
last month.
Mr Fitzpatrick – previously general counsel at Northern Rock – has decided to take a career break.
Stephen Pearson, who became Virgin Money’s first general counsel in 2010, commented: ‘Jason built up a really good team at Northern Rock and now the two have come together and we are very proud not just of having achieved completion of such an important deal, but also of successfully integrating the two legal teams and saving jobs in the process.’
