Pinsent Masons appoints Transformation Director

Neil joins from Barclays where he was Head of Transformation and Innovation. In that role, he was responsible for managing complex projects driving the evolution of legal technology and process optimisation.

Neil will be responsible for executing the transformational strategies that enhance the way we deliver services to clients and drive the evolution of our firm.

Neil Green says: “Transformation is core to the success of a business, no one succeeds by standing still. The next five years will be pivotal for the legal industry. The market is becoming more competitive, cost and operational efficiency is key for clients, and there’s a great sense of anticipation over what opportunities generative AI and other technological advancements will bring.”

Neil adds: “At Pinsent Masons there’s a real buzz about how the organisation is evolving. Coming from an in-house legal team I have the perspective of someone who has extensive experience of purchasing services from external advisors. What really attracted me to this firm is the extensive range of technology and talent that the firm already has – there’s boundless potential here.”

Commenting on Neil’s hire, Matt Peers, COO at Pinsent Masons says: “Neil is a visionary leader in the field of legal technology and innovation.
