City-based international firm Lovells this month announced the appointment of a new IT director, when Ian McFiggans, formerly global programme director for the in-house IT department at Accenture, took control of the firm’s IT department on 7 January.

McFiggans replaces Lovells’ long standing head of IT, Ed Dean, a stalwart of the Society for Computers and Law, who left the firm at the end of last year.
