Legal consultancy CJCH appoints new Chief of Staff

Anti-piracy professional services firm CJCH has promoted a new Chief of Staff. Luke Heydenrych takes on the role, bringing more than a decade of industry experience to the job.

CJCH is a professional services group based in Cardiff, which specialises in legal services. Initially, CJCH Solicitors’ three offices in the United Kingdom offered a range of services in both corporate and private matters to clients across the world, however, the firm evolved a Consulting brand thanks to the growing need for anti-piracy and compliance services which were offered by the intellectual property practice of CJCH Solicitors. CJCH Consulting now complements the legal wing of the firm by offering a unique, bespoke operating model to deliver anti-piracy and Licence Compliance services to its clients.

As the firm continues to expand in 2019, it has resolved to promote a new Chief of Staff to oversee its overall operations, as well as the strategic direction of the legal practice and consulting firm. Luke Heydenrych, who joined the firm in 2016 as a Software Anti-Piracy Research Specialist, takes on the role, having most recently served as Head Of Operations at the organisation.

Heydenrych brings more than 12 years of consulting industry know-how to the position, having previously held a number of related positions in South Africa. Most recently, this saw him spend four years as a Director of Communications and Innovation for Johannesburg-based Red Marketing SA. Heydenrych also enjoyed two spells with Accenture, where he latterly became a Senior Consultant. He also worked for Standard Bank – Africa’s biggest lender by assets – as a Business Process Consultant.

Commenting on his new challenge, Heydenrych said, "I am proud and privileged to have been appointed to the role of chief of staff at CJCH Solicitors and Consulting. This is a truly fantastic opportunity to drive the strategic direction and business development of this highly successful firm which I have no doubt will continue to thrive in 2019. CJCH is renowned for being a leader, both in the Welsh legal and global anti-piracy industry, and continues to drive innovation in a dynamic global field.”
