Capsticks has appointed Anthony Stables as its Director of Technology and Innovation, a new role that reflects the firm’s continued investment in technology and infrastructure and its drive to ensure efficiency in the services it provides to its clients.

Joining this week, Anthony will help to deliver the firm’s existing technology agenda, with a focus on strengthening day-to-day systems, improving efficiency and exploring how new tools can enhance the way Capsticks works and supports clients.

Previously the Chief Information Officer at a leading law firm, Anthony brings more than two decades of experience in turning technology into a strategic driver of growth, operational efficiency and client service.

He has led complex technology transformation programmes across international firms and financial institutions, including the implementation of AI and cloud-based solutions, and has a strong track record of aligning technology investment with wider business priorities in highly regulated environments.

Neil Middleton, Chief Operating Officer at Capsticks, said:

Investment in technology and infrastructure is a major strategic priority for the firm as we continue to evolve and respond to the changing needs of our clients and our people. Anthony’s appointment is an important part of that journey. His experience will help us build the right foundations, make the best use of technology to improve efficiency, and support the thoughtful adoption of new tools in ways that strengthen the service we deliver. This is a significant and exciting area of focus for Capsticks, and Anthony will play a key role in helping us move forward.

Victoria Watson, Managing Partner at Capsticks, said:

It’s exciting to welcome Anthony to the firm at an important point in our growth. In the coming years, we expect to see significant progress as we deliver a new technology strategy that supports our people, strengthens the foundations of our day-to-day systems and helps us work in smarter, more efficient ways to deliver the high-quality service our clients expect.

We want to make practical improvements that free up our teams to focus on the needs of our clients and put us in the best possible position to build on the opportunities ahead. Our core strategy of Smart Growth, Go-to Advisors and Motivated Teams remains at the heart of everything we do, and investment in technology will be central to delivering it.

Our purpose is to be the legal advisers that clients want by their side, providing innovative and practical solutions tailored to our sectors’ unique challenges.
