Having increased the scope and reach of our service to meet demand, underpinned by income growth and technology investments, we are now looking for a CEO ready to move our new 2026 strategy forward. This will feature developing more efficient processes for our barristers and clients, using technology effectively to help more clients, and growing our voice as an evidence‑backed leader in the wider conversation around access to justice.
