Hayden, whose previous roles include chief operating officer at IFA firm CMME Group, and head of solutions at outsourcing company Capita, joins the firm from Limitless Financial Services. 

He has a background in business, finance and technology across healthcare, legal and financial services.

He will build on Equilaw's progressive technology including back-office systems and its online and mobile case tracking app, while enhancing customer service.

Existing MD Claire Barker will move into the CEO role.

Hayden commented: 'One thing that has really struck me in my first week at Equilaw is how caring and competent the team is. I have no doubt this has helped in establishing Equilaw as a market leader by offering a great service to both its clients and brokers.

'I am also impressed by the innovative technology, but systems and processes can always be improved, and I’ve joined at a time where there are some exciting developments ahead.

'Having led a number of brokerages, I can appreciate the pressures advisers are under, and understand what they expect from a law firm. They want to be able to easily transact with people who care, to be kept updated so they can manage clients’ expectations, they want transparency and good value. I see all of this in Equilaw.'
