Karen Hendy

Partner, Head of Corporate

Karen leads our corporate practice at RPC, where she acts for both privately held and public listed companies. She is a noted expert in the retail and technology sectors, and her work often extends to adjacent areas such as manufacturing. 

“My role really is a team effort – that’s probably the thing I love about it the most.”

“Many of the clients I’m working with and the deals I’m advising on are international, and I really enjoy working across different jurisdictions. This experience gives me a broad outlook - and has allowed me to develop expertise across a number of sectors.

My work is consumer facing, international, current, and fast-moving. I am constantly working with amazing people at the cutting edge who really know their sectors.

My approach to client relationships is fundamentally people-first. My focus is on understanding what really matters to both individuals and organisations so I can fully support them in what they’re trying to achieve. That requires great communication skills – and the ability to really listen is just as important. It’s all about grown-up partnerships based on mutual respect and ongoing feedback.

I bring bags of energy to my work and am inspired by the amazing clients and colleagues I’m privileged to collaborate with. My role really is a team effort – that’s probably what I love about it most.”

Karen’s recent work highlights:

Acted as corporate adviser to FTSE listed Frasers Group on multiple domestic and international transactions (public and private).

Supported international fintech company Ebury’s expansion, including its £350m investment from Santander. 

Worked with clean energy company Ceres, including acting as issuer's counsel on its transfer from AIM to the premium segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange.
