Individual Editorial
Sonya Branch is the lead lawyer at the Bank of England, having joined the bank in 2015. Prior to that, she was at the Competition and Markets Authority and a partner at Clifford Chance. She is in charge of a large legal team that helped the bank navigate high-profile scenarios such as Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, handling a range of contentious and non-contentious matters.
Strengths
She is incredibly bright and remarkably calm under fire. She is a deeply impressive person and a remarkable GC of the first order.
