As is customary, he will serve as president for one year. He stepped into the shoes of Mark Evans at the Society’s annual general meeting on 14 October.
Dixon was admitted in 1999 and worked in firms in Manchester and across the north-west. He has been the president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, and was appointed as the representative of personal injury lawyers on the Law Society Council in 2019.
He says his key priorities will be “clear standards, appropriate regulation and responsible innovation” in the world of AI, as well as stronger domestic access to justice and a modernised system.
