She has a global profile, regularly speaking at Insol, Asset Recovery Americas, Offshore Alert, IWIRC and other industry technical sessions.

Margot’s focus as head of practice is to continue to develop the business’ strategy, deliver best quality service to clients and develop and expand GTSS’ offerings in line with the changing demands and a highly competitive market. This includes assessing new opportunities for growth and new service lines in the offshore market and collaborating with GT colleagues from our extensive global network, including 22 offshore jurisdictions, to provide client orientated solutions to complex, cross border problems.
