In recent years Lindsay has been at the forefront of one of the UK's top editorial advice teams where she has advised on ground-breaking stories, IPSO complaints, compliance issues and editorial policy, all in addition to being involved in some of the most high-profile media cases in the UK and overseas. 

Partner and Head of Media, Rupert Cowper-Coles echoes the sentiment saying: "Lindsay knows the team well and brings exceptional first-hand experience of both media litigation and the broader challenges our clients face. We're delighted to have Lindsay's experience and knowledge on board to help us continue to support our clients."

Commenting on her move to RPC, Lindsay Warwick remarks: "Returning to RPC feels like coming home. Having worked for over ten years with journalists, editors, executives and fellow in-house lawyers I absolutely understand the challenges faced by the media and those who work in the sector. I am thrilled to be bringing that experience to RPC and to be joining forces with the firm's fantastic media experts. I aim not only to uphold but to elevate RPC's stellar reputation as the UK's leading media defence practice."
