Manx law firm Dougherty Quinn has appointed Sinead O'Connor as head of its regulatory and compliance services team.

Sinead joins from KPMG Isle of Man and has spent 15 years in the compliance industry here.

She’s been recognised as a leading authority on anti-money laundering and anti-bribery and corruption issues.

Dougherty Quinn managing partner Tom Maher says expanding the compliance team is especially important with developments such as TIEAs, FATCA and the Common Reporting Standard.
