Managing Partner from Top-200 law firm joins BigHand
London, U.K (PRWEB) September 25, 2004 -- BigHand announces today that David Fryer, formerly Managing Partner of Taylor Walton Solicitors (113th largest law firm in the UK), has joined the company as Chief Operating Officer. David will head up all of BigHands customer facing Operations Departments, together with Finance and General Management.
David had been Managing Partner of Northern Home Counties law firm Taylor Walton Solicitors since 1997, where he specialised in private client, trust and IHT planning work. Under Davids stewardship Taylor Walton grew into one of the ten largest law firms in South East England, with both headcount and turnover trebling in that period. David joins BigHand as the software company is poised for further dynamic growth, following a phase of record results where turnover increased by 400% in three years.
Stephen Thompson, Managing Director of BigHand stated:
I am genuinely delighted that BigHand is able to attract someone of David's seniority and calibre to help and guide us through the next phase of BigHand's growth. His understanding of the way lawyers work will benefit BigHands business in many areas, and his experience of the challenges of an expanding organisation will also ensure we continue to go from strength to strength in a mature and controlled fashion. David has an excellent understanding of our customer base, who we expect will benefit most from the addition of his skills and experience."
David Fryer, now Chief Operating Officer of BigHand, commented:
I was proud to have helped take Taylor Walton to their current position in the legal market, but the time was right to seek a fresh challenge. BigHand is a legal software vendor that has significant ambition and takes a genuine pride in the products it develops and sells. As a lawyer who both used their system and dealt with their operations team I found both to be of absolutely the highest standard. Hopefully coming from 'the other side of the fence I can contribute something that will help make the BigHand offering even more attractive to legal customers."
