A qualified lawyer with meaningful experience in the delivery of digital legal services and/or legal services provision using innovative models.

Or

Someone with the understanding and experience to enable them to take on the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC), preferably with an appropriate financial qualification.

Across all appointments, candidates will demonstrate political acumen, strong analytical capability, sound judgement, and a clear commitment to accountability, transparency, openness and debate consistent with the principles of public life. A demonstrable commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and an understanding of its practical application at Board level, is essential.
