The BPI has announced that their General Counsel, Roz Groome, is leaving after seven years, having worked with the recording industry trade body during a period where a whole new barrage of legal challenges surfaced.
Confirming her departure, recently appointed BPI CEO Geoff Taylor, himself a former legal counsel for the trade body, told reporters: "Roz has contributed a huge amount to the BPI, in particular in leading the BPI's anti-piracy initiatives as General Counsel. While we are sorry to lose her, this move is an exciting opportunity for her to use the great experience she has gained at the BPI in a new context".
BPI bosses have begun the recruitment process to find a new General Counsel.
