Fresh face at APIL

Deborah Evans, former CEO of the Legal Complaints Service, has been appointed chief executive of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Deborah, who takes up the post next week, also spent eight years as practice director of a law firm with a personal injury practice.
APIL president, David Bott, says he is delighted to have someone of Deborah’s calibre in the chief executive’s role. “I know she will be a great asset to APIL as we continue our work to keep injured people at the forefront of any changes to the legal system.”
