Speaking about the appointment, Landers chief executive partner Genevieve Collins said Ms O’Connor was “deliberately appointed” from outside of the legal sector, and that she “brings an incredible amount of experience” from a broad range of industries.

“She has demonstrated a strong capability for setting a strategic agenda, leading large technological transformations, and then implementing digital go-to-market models,” Ms Collins said.

“This expertise will support Lander & Rogers as we continue our exciting digital transformation.

“Karen will not only continue to overhaul our underlying technology but will ensure that Lander & Rogers continues to have the right IT platforms and applications in place to service our clients in the best possible way.”
