Lights-On Consulting Limited has been established to provide pragmatic consultancy primarily to Law Firms and other professional service firms in their use of IT. Lights-On was set up by Peter Owen who, for 10 years until Autumn 2005, was the IT Director for Eversheds. Eversheds was the largest law firm in Europe with some 4500 people in the firm. Office sizes varied from over 800 people down to 20 or 30 giving a great range of experiences and exposure to issues for law firms of all sizes. Prior to that Peter worked for DuPont and for the many subsidiary companies, particularly oil, gas, technology and energy conservation acting in roles that ranged from developer and 1st and 2nd line support positions through internal consultant for start-up joint ventures to IT Manager. All our people have held senior positions in law firms as well as being experienced consultants and that blend of experience we find allows us to provide excellent advisory services to clients. With over 75 years combined varied experience working in the IT arena, over 45 of which have been heading up the IT in law firms and then advising as consultants , the team has a broad experience in all aspects of corporate IT ranging from IT Service and Service Desks through IT systems development to IT project delivery and strategy. It is believed that this experience backed by a practical, friendly, no-nonsense nature and a network of associates will bring benefit to other commercial law and professional service firms of all sizes who feel their IT could be further improved or greater return on investment extracted. To date all of Lights-On's work is via an approach from firm's to us, from recommendation or from repeat work. We don't approach firms using cold call or cold e-mail methods. |
