LSN gains new head of events from Ark Group

Legalsupportnetwork.co.uk is very proud to welcome another addition to the LSN team: Samantha Irvine, our new head of events.

As well as organising the LSN Regional and London Networking Events, Sam will be responsible for launching a variety of content-rich, educational events that will benefit everyone in the operational, business services and support areas of law firms.

"I’m very excited to be joining the team at legalsupportnetwork.co.uk," says Sam. "Their enthusiasm and commitment to building a community for like-minded people to share information knows no bounds, and I'm thrilled to be a part of something unique that has such huge potential.

"Having produced a variety of events catering for people in the operational, business services and support areas of law firms for six years, I'm really looking forward to providing this community with a series of events that both push the boundaries of learning and networking and really add value to the people we serve."

Sam's previous role was senior conference producer and content manager at Ark Group, where she was responsible for producing events in the areas of legal knowledge management, finance, strategy, IT, risk and compliance, marketing/business development and HR.

While at Ark, Sam made key sector events such as KM Legal major industry successes, and launched the European KM Legal event on the back of that success. She has a decade of experience in researching and producing engaging events and has developed a variety of event formats, ranging from large international conferences to interactive workshops and webinars.

David Sparkes, LSN's managing director, says: "We welcome Sam to the LSN team in the week of our 4th anniversary, which is an achievement on both counts. LSN's growth and success to date lies firmly in the hands of the existing team members, who are all committed to delivering our strategic goals – the main message being ‘to add value to the community’.

"Sam’s experience will bring huge value to the LSN mix, with her background in a blend of event and content production, both of which are firmly at the heart of our strategy for growth and delivery of value to the legal business services community."
