His responsibilities include developing sophisticated tools, leading the technology strategy, managing system integrations, and providing robust tech support to the team. Craig's role is integral in driving innovation to improve lawyer productivity, optimise client experience, and to position Harper James at the forefront of the legal sector.

With over 20 years’ experience in technology and leadership, he brings a wealth of knowledge to Harper James.
