Liverpool law firm JB Leitch is beefing up its management team with two new senior appointments following the opening of its first London office early in 2026.
LBN reported in late 2025 how JB Leitch, a specialist property law firm serving clients across England and Wales, was opening a new office in the capital in what was described as an “exciting and significant milestone”.
Now, to further accelerate its growth, the business has appointed two more people to its senior team. Anthony Terry is the firm’s new IT director and Lucy Cunnah has come on board as finance director.
Anthony brings extensive experience leading technology transformation within the legal sector. He has a strong track record of delivering AI-led initiatives and large-scale digital transformation programmes.
Most recently, he held the role of group head of IT at Anexo Group. In that job his transformation agenda focused on modernising infrastructure, strengthening data and security frameworks, and delivering automation and efficiency improvements at scale.
He also brings significant experience in litigation and case management having been responsible for technology at Bond Turner (an Anexo Group Company) and previously IT director at Fletchers Solicitors.
Lucy joins JB Leitch from Clancy Consulting and brings significant experience in strategic finance leadership, commercial planning, and business transformation.
JB Leitch managing director Matt Jarvis, who joined the firm in March 2025, described both appointments as “strategically important”.
He added: “As we continue to invest in our technology and infrastructure to support our continued growth, Anthony will play a key role in ensuring we have the right platforms, systems, and technology in place to support both our colleagues and clients as we continue to grow at pace.

“Lucy will work closely with me and the board to help shape the future strategy of the firm, supporting sustainable growth, operational performance, and strong decision-making across the business.”
“JB Leitch opening an office in London was a clear statement of ambition but that has to be backed up with resource and expertise. We have brought talented people on board to help take us to the next level.”
