Sheffield Haworth hires Lewington for new legal practice

Lewington joins in London from the recruitment firm TMP Legal, where she was head of the legal team for banking and finance appointments. Before that she was a capital markets lawyer at the law firm Allen & Overy.

At Sheffield Haworth Lewington will focus on legal appointments in investment banking, asset management, wealth management and private practice.
