Gavin Ward
Director
As one of our Directors at Moore Legal Technology, I'm responsible for ensuring that all of our law firm customers succeed as a result of the efforts we make with their online business generation strategies. At MLT, our Your Law Firm Success™ product is a fully comprehensive marketing platform for the modern law firm.
After qualifying as a solicitor with leading UK commercial law firm Maclay Murray & Spens LLP (now Dentons) I joined Moore Legal Technology in 2010 and since then have loved working with our team, defining and implementing our development methodology, particularly with my recent Lean Six Sigma (Yellow Belt) qualification.
Our mission is to help the best lawyers (who genuinely want to help people or businesses with their legal problems) to succeed through more effective use of the Internet.
