PwC UK has announced that Lewis Bretts has joined as a Partner in its Legal Technology team, who provide innovative, tech-focused and efficient solutions for corporate legal departments. Lewis brings specific experience in building and delivering global legal technology, CLM, and managed legal services solutions, and will focus on PwC UK’s AI, legal technology and managed legal services offering.
Lewis’ admission to the Partnership is the latest investment in the firm’s legal technology offering as our clients adapt to an era of advancing technology, new business models and evolving client expectations.
Previously, Lewis served as the COO and Chief Legal Engineer of legal technology and operations consultancy SYKE, and subsequently as US Group Managing Director of Bowmark backed LOD Group which operates in the ALSP space, where he led the development of the group's US business prior to its acquisition by Consilio LLC.
As PwC increases its investment in the legal technology space, Lewis’ arrival follows two director appointments in the team, Rahul Raina and Abilash Unny, underscoring PwC UK’s continued investment across its legal services and further enhancing the team’s capabilities in legal technology and innovation.
Last year PwC announced global partnerships and alliances with a number of leading technology providers in the legal technology and artificial intelligence space.
Lewis Bretts, PwC UK partner, said:
"I am thrilled to join PwC at such an exciting time for the world of legal and contracting innovation. With a background that spans commercial law, legal technology implementation, and alternative legal services, I look forward to contributing to PwC's innovative approach in helping clients transform the way they manage their contracts and deliver legal services.”
Trusha Kachhela, Head of Legal Business Solutions at PwC UK, said:
"We are delighted to welcome Lewis to our growing team. His extensive experience and leadership in legal technology and alternative legal services align perfectly with our commitment to providing market-leading expertise. Lewis's unique insights and proven track record in driving business growth make him a valuable addition to our team. His appointment is a testament to our ongoing investment in our Legal practice and our dedication to innovation and client service."
