We are delighted to welcome Tim Ramsey, former Head of MENA at the Behavioural Insights Team and CEO of charity Just Like Us, as a Partner at Schillings. Tim joins Schillings’ 18 other Partners across the fields of law, investigations, communications, security and diplomacy, to offer strategic advice and solutions to clients in high stakes situations.
Previously Head of MENA at the Behavioural Insights Team, Tim joins having advised government and organisations in the UK and overseas on the application of behavioural insights to improve communications, make better decisions and change behaviour. He will be Schillings’ first Arabic-speaking Partner, supporting the firm in its increasingly global and multi-jurisdictional matters.
Prior to his role at the Behavioural Insights Team, Tim was CEO at Just Like Us, an award-winning charity which he founded in 2016. Tim raised the initial funding to pilot, and then grow, Just Like Us into a leading LGBT+ charity, and was awarded an MBE for services to education and equality in 2021.
David Imison, Schillings’ CEO, commented:
‘We are so pleased to welcome Tim to join us as a Schillings Partner. Tim’s background and experience across government, consultancy and charity will enable us to continue to enhance our unique client offering.
A skilled advisor and problem solver, Tim will be the firm’s first Arabic-speaking Partner, which is particularly exciting in light of our international client work. The firm’s growing Partnership is reflective of Schillings’ growth as a whole, its increasing capabilities, and expanded client offering to help clients handle high stakes situations.’
