City media boutique Wiggin has become the latest law firm to confirm plans to take advantage of the Legal Services Act (LSA) with the addition of a non-lawyer CEO to its partnership.

The firm has appointed longstanding COO John Banister (pictured) as CEO and its first non-lawyer partner. The move, which has been approved by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), saw Wiggin convert to a legal disciplinary partnership (LDP) on 1 December last year.
