Equilaw is an award-winning, Gloucester-based legal firm which delivers equity release services. Recognised by financial advisers nationwide for their niche work and experience in this specialist area of law, Equilaw is one of the market leaders in this sector.

The Business Growth Fund invested in Equilaw in 2019 and identified that there were opportunities to enhance Equilaw and its partner business, Thomas Legal, through investment in IT. This led to an introduction of a Freeman Clarke Principal, Jeremy Hyland.

Jeremy worked with the IT Director and the third-party supplier to address system stability issues, then agreed on a roadmap with the Board to deliver a cloud-based infrastructure that supported business growth with 24/7 support and a Managed Service. The IT Director had built innovative process automation technologies which supplemented their case management system, and Jeremy worked with him on the delivery roadmap to scale this into an automation and compliance solution that would take them to the next level of growth.

IT Director Will Matthews said:

‘It was a pleasure working with Jeremy; he is extremely knowledgeable, professional and a brilliant communicator. Jeremy undertook a full review of our technology stack, including a critical development effort, making recommendations, and assisting in both the planning and execution of a successful company-wide IT transformation. The Freeman Clarke model has worked well for our business and puts us in a great place for our future growth plans.’
