Integreon president of business development John Croft has left the outsourcing giant to launch a UK arm for recently formed alternative legal services provider Elevate Services.

Croft, who joined Elevate as president yesterday (18 April), has launched the new operation in London, through which the company will target law firms and in-house legal departments across Europe. 

At Integreon, Croft was responsible for signing high-profile deals with law firms including CMS Cameron McKenna and Osborne Clarke, both of which have recently been revised.
