DOCUMENT DIRECT NEWS...

Document Direct appoint former Intelligent Office CEO Rachel McCorry to their Board.

Document Direct, the U.K. and Ireland’s leading provider of transcription and document production services to the legal sector, has appointed Rachel McCorry to its board. The move comes on the back of a series of acquisitions for the B Corp business, most recently Digital Transcription for Lawyers (DTFL), and continued investment in AI-driven technologies which have been supporting its growth.

Document Direct Founder and CEO Martyn Best said: “Rachel built Intelligent Office into one of the most respected support service providers in the legal market, trusted by many of the U.K.’s top firms. Her operational expertise and reputation for client care are second to none.

As AI, speech recognition and new digital tools reshape the sector, Rachel’s insight and corporate experiences will help us grow and further develop our offering while keeping an unwavering focus on our client service and our clients’ needs.”

Rachel McCorry added: “I’ve spent over 20 years working inside and alongside leading law firms, helping them improve efficiency and deliver better client service. Growing Intelligent Office into a market leader gave me first-hand experience of what matters most to firms and their clients, and my role as Senior Vice President Legal Services, EMEA for Williams Lea following their acquisition of Intelligent Office added to my leadership and corporate skills. My time as CEO of Rothley Law further deepened that understanding.

Document Direct has that same client-first mindset, combined with cutting-edge technologies and supportive AI and I’m excited to join Martyn and the team to help drive the next stage of growth in a sector that is changing fast, and where client care will always be the priority.”
