Tessa Waite

Solicitor, Fieldfisher
I have worked on an array of matters, ranging from M&A due diligence, commercial contracts, advising on direct marketing and cookies, and GDPR projects.
Prior to joining Fieldfisher, I worked in Brussels for multi-national corporations including BP and Johnson & Johnson in government and regulatory affairs. During my time in Brussels, I advocated company policy positions on the GDPR and Network and Information Security Directive to the UK government and EU institutions.
 
When working in the medical devices sector, I was responsible for coordinating teams across EMEA to ensure regulatory compliance of products for multi-million dollar markets. Here I gained experience working with international teams and regulatory bodies on technically challenging compliance matters across the EU, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
 
Known for my pro-active attitude and aptitude for building strong relationships, I enjoy working closely with clients to understand their business needs and diligently problem-solve.
