Centaur announced the appointment of Sarah Sanderson as Managing Director of The Lawyer, who will be joining the business on 1 May 2024. Sarah will replace Jane Wilkinson, who will leave Centaur on 26 April to pursue a portfolio career. In her role as Managing Director, Sarah Sanderson will bring expertise from over 30 years' experience in data and insight services to lead the evolution of The Lawyer into a provider of business intelligence and learning.

Sarah joins The Lawyer after fifteen years at Kantar, including seven years at Kantar Media where she is Managing Director of the Target Group Index (TGI), the source of consumer intelligence. She has previously held Director roles at other leading global market research organizations, including BMRB and IPSOS. Joining in 2021, Jane has considerably strengthened The Lawyer's position as the most trusted brand for the UK legal profession, developing its information subscriptions business and expanding its international reach.
