Meet the incoming Managing Director for LexisNexis® Asia & Pacific

After more than a decade with LexisNexis, Katy Fixter is stepping into one of the most promising growth markets in LexisNexis – leading the company’s Asia Pacific operations as managing director. The move brings her full circle, back to a position deeply connected to the legal profession that she first entered as a commercial real estate lawyer in London.

Fixter is no stranger to LexisNexis. Since making the leap from legal practice, she has worked across multiple areas of the business, including Vice President and General Manager of Global Nexis Solutions and Head of Practical Guidance at LexisNexis UK. The transition has been driven by the same client-focused approach that she honed in private practice.

“My time as a real estate lawyer both in private practice and in-house in the financial services sector showed me the extent to which legal work is all about providing excellence to the customer,” Fixter tells NZ Lawyer.
