David Boyd handles legal operations, alternative legal services, transformation and technology in law. He is part of the leadership team at Konexo.
His role at Konexo is to ensure that they develop the best people and practice what they preach by deploying optimal technology solutions and highly effective processes for their clients. Alongside this, David helps general counsel, heads of legal operations and other stakeholders find the best legal solutions for their businesses.
After starting his career as a corporate/banking lawyer at Slaughter and May, he moved to Allens Arthur Robinson in Australia, where he became a partner, before joining Eversheds Sutherland on his return to the UK. David led the firm’s banking and finance team for a number of years, as well as holding client partner roles for several key clients.
For over a decade, he has been a lead partner in Konexo, developed by Eversheds Sutherland to provide alternative legal services. Combining the heritage, strength and stability of a global law firm with a mission “to do law differently,” Konexo uses the latest intelligent analytics, technology and innovative processes to provide a range of new law offerings, including managed services, interim resourcing and consulting services.
Konexo is located in the UK, US, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia and, for five consecutive years, has achieved a band one global ranking in the Chambers and Partners ALSP Guide.
David has known his fantastic wife, Julie, since school. They have three great sons — Joseph, Matthew and Edward — and are proud dog owners to a lovely labradoodle called Skye. Outside of work he enjoys the gym and running (while listening to history podcasts), plays football from time to time and coaches children's cricket at a local club, North Middlesex CC. Oh and he has the almost constant misery of being a supporter of Derby County FC.
