The Adeptio Law Group has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Colin Jones as chief technology and innovation officer.
Colin, who has 26 years of senior leadership experience, will support the group’s continued expansion and its ambition to build the UK’s leading national legal services platform.
Adeptio chief executive Neil Lloyd said Colin brought high-level experience across private equity‑backed firms, PLCs and high‑growth SMEs and his appointment marked a significant step for the group.
Neil said: “Colin brings a rare combination of deep sector knowledge, large‑scale transformation experience and a proven track record of integrating acquisitions smoothly and effectively.
“As Adeptio continues to grow, we need technology leadership that can match our ambition and give every firm in the group the tools, systems and confidence to thrive.
“Colin’s appointment provides exactly that and he will play a crucial role in the continued growth of Adeptio in the months and years to come.”
Colin, who held previous board‑level roles which saw him lead large‑scale digital transformation programmes and business turnarounds, said Adeptio’s ambition was a key factor in his decision to join the group.
“Adeptio is building a modern, scalable national legal platform rooted in regional excellence. My role is to ensure our technology and AI capability keeps pace with that ambition, integrating acquisitions smoothly, strengthening our digital foundations and giving partners the systems they need to grow.
“Technology should be an accelerator for every firm that joins the group, and I’m excited to help deliver that.”
Colin’s appointment follows a period of significant momentum for Adeptio, including two acquisitions in 2026 and the expansion of its M&A team to support a growing pipeline of high‑quality regional firms.
