Stuart Whittle, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer (Weightmans)
Stuart is a true legal innovator, recently described as 'a living Action Man of legal innovation' by industry peers. Having qualified as a lawyer in 1995, he specialised in professional indemnity from then until he became the head of Weightmans' IT department ten years later. Stuart's interest in technology and innovation manifested itself early on in his career when, as part of the last seat of his training contract, he was assigned to work with the then IT Partner. During that time, he built a database to help deal with claims relating to a major piece of litigation and also created Weightmans' first intranet.
In 2002, he was promoted to Partner. From 2003 onwards, Stuart became involved in Weightmans' IT, designing, developing and rolling out case management systems across the firm. In 2005, he took on responsibility for Weightmans' IT department and in 2010 was promoted to IS and Operations Director and became a member of Weightmans' Board. Following Weightmans' strategic review in 2017, Stuart was appointed Business Services and Innovation Director with responsibility for Facilities, People and Knowledge, Business Change, Information Management and Technology, Innovation and Risk and Compliance.
