Top duo to set tone for CPA outsourcing
Legal outsourcing major, CPA, has announced the appointment of Bill Fagan as Chief Financial Officer and Paul McGolpin as Commercial Director. With their extensive experience in diverse, global corporations, Fagan and McGolpin will be instrumental in delivering CPA's range of outsourced legal services.
Fagan is an accountant and financial specialist of 30 years' standing who has held senior positions at prestigious firms such as Dell Computer and Bank of America. He also has in-depth knowledge of the real estate trade. McGolpin, meanwhile, is an expert in fine-tuning business and IT solutions, and helped his previous firm to move into the outsourcing market. At CPA, he will focus on consolidating and growing its outsourcing client-base.
CPA CEO, Peter Sewell, said: 'CPA is a rapidly growing business which continues to deliver substantial double-digit revenue and profit growth from outsourced IP services, while developing a strong pipeline for wider legal support services. Corporates and law firms around the world are now becoming focused on efficiency, improving quality and driving costs lower through outsourcing a wide range of legal support services.
'As a trusted supplier with a long track record of excellence in complex IP-related services, CPA is well placed to help clients achieve these objectives in an increasingly competitive global economy. I am delighted that Bill and Paul have joined CPA and I look forward to working with them to ensure that CPA maximises its potential to deliver superior value across a full range of outsourced legal services to our global client base.'
Both will serve on the executive board.
