The London Stock Exchange-owned clearing house LCH.Clearnet has hired a general counsel and head of compliance, as it prepares for a wave of incoming regulations that will affect Europe's post-trade operators.

Diane Bouwmeester joined the clearing house last month and will take on some of the responsibilities previously held by Lisa Rosen, who was group head of compliance and public affairs at LCH.Clearnet, in addition to her role as general counsel.
