LovellsCity-based international firm Lovells this month announced the appointment of a new IT director.

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. He replaces Ed Dean, a stalwart of the Society for Computers and Law, who left the firm at the end of last year to work for a venture capital organisation.
