Association appoints next chair

Craig Matthews has been appointed as the chair of the Legal Software Suppliers Association (LSSA).

The UK’s industry body for legal systems developers and vendors, LSSA has been led by former chair Julian Bryan of Quill for the past three years. Craig (pictured) currently serves as CEO of UK-based software company Pracctice. Tim Smith of Insight Legal Software Ltd has also assumed the role of vice chair.

Craig commented: ‘I am proud to be appointed as chair of the LSSA and look forward to building on the excellent work achieved by Julian Bryan. We aim to deepen our relationships with The Law Society, the Solicitors Regulation Authority and government bodies such as HMRC to facilitate the acceptance of new technologies in the legal market, bringing efficiencies and cost savings to law firms. The LSSA will continue to be a major force in shaping the future of legal technology in the UK.’
