Arden’s Defence and Security Practice brings together an accomplished team of advisors with unrivalled experience, insight and knowledge of the UK’s defence and security environment. At a time of significant change for defence and security, our team will support clients to successfully navigate politics and policy in the UK.
Chaired by Dr Karin von Hippel, who served as Director General of RUSI for almost a decade after a distinguished career in the US State Department, which included a spell as Chief of Staff to General John Allen, Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter-ISIL. A former senior research fellow at the Centre for Defence Studies, King’s College London and with direct experience in over two dozen conflict zones, Karin is recognised as one of the foremost thought-leaders on geopolitics, defence and security.
Karin will be supported by Arden’s Founder, Rt Hon Jim Murphy, a former Labour Cabinet Minister and Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, and Holly Lynch, a former Labour Shadow Security Minister. They are complemented by a team of senior advisors and policy experts with experience advising the current Secretary of State for Defence and Home Secretary, as well as a former Chair of the Defence Select Committee.
