“As we move towards considering a horizon that includes true computable contracts, I welcome Nick Williams-Walker as our new Technical Group chair and look forward to working with him on the next stage of the London market’s digital journey.”

Williams-Walker said: “As the pace of change ramps up across the market, I am excited to be at the heart of delivering cross-market solutions for computable contracts and new digital processes which will benefit us and our clients in the long term.”
