Finers Stephens Innocent LLP has announced that Mark Stephens has been appointed as the new chairman of the board of directors at the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), replacing Andrew Potter who steps down in December.

Mark, who was instrumental in the establishment of DACS in 1984, joins the organisation at an important time as debate continues about the future of copyright, and the global recession and public funding cuts impact on visual artists.

Mark was awarded a CBE in June this year for his contribution to the legal profession and to the arts. DACS chief executive Gilane Tawadros says: “We are delighted to be welcoming Mark as our new chairman. He has played such an important role in DACS’s formation and will now play a vital role in its future development.”
