Yao Strengthens Legal Tech Leadership with Key Strategic Hires

Legal practice management platform expands expert team and accelerates product innovation

Yao, the legal practice management platform built by lawyers for lawyers, is proud to announce the addition of two highly experienced legal technology professionals to its growing team, reinforcing its position as one of the most forward-thinking providers in the legal tech market.

Joining Yao is Peter Creber, a seasoned legal tech leader with nearly 20 years of experience as a Partner at a prominent regional law firm, followed by his role as Global Head of Product at Practice Evolve. Peter brings a rare combination of deep legal operational knowledge and product strategy expertise, enabling him to bridge the gap between law firm needs and effective software solutions.

Also joining the team is Adam Field, a legal software developer with over 16 years of hands-on experience optimising platforms such as Visualfiles and Solcase. Adam spent the last decade at Clarke Willmott, where he led the development of their core case management solution, streamlining workflows and delivering impactful process improvements firm-wide.

These appointments come at a time of significant momentum for Yao. In July alone, the platform released 26 new features and enhancements, including a fully integrated Outlook Plugin, intelligent Conditional Paragraphs for forms, and enhanced financial tools like Credit Notes and Protected Client Funds.

“Yao was created to solve the everyday frustrations lawyers face with clunky, inflexible systems,” said Col Secomb, Managing Partner at Lewis Denley and Co-Founder of Yao. “Bringing Peter and Adam into the team is a clear reflection of our commitment to delivering a platform that is not only powerful, but genuinely aligned with how legal professionals work.”

With an expanding feature set, deep industry insight, and a team of legal and technical specialists, Yao continues to build a platform that meets the real-world needs of modern law firms – helping teams work faster, reduce admin, and deliver excellent client service.
