Data breach and cybersecurity specialist Hayes Connor Solicitors has been shortlisted by the Eclipse Proclaim Modern Law Awards 2020 for the Boutique Law Firm of the Year (11+ Employees) and Marketing and Communications Strategy categories for the second year running.

The firm, currently representing thousands of clients with multi-party data breach actions including against Ticketmaster, British Airways and Equifax, won the Highly Commended award for Boutique Law Firm of the Year (1-10 Employees) in January 2019.

Kingsley Hayes, managing director at data breach and cybersecurity specialist Hayes Connor Solicitors, said: “The team is committed to exceeding client expectations, we are delighted to be recognised once again by the Modern Law Awards’ panel of industry experts. Hayes Connor has rapidly grown in the past 12 months from 6 to 15 employees as we actively pursue a number of global organisations who have failed in their data protection obligations.”

Hayes Connor was the first firm to serve a representative data breach claim in the High Court following the Court of Appeal’s ground-breaking ruling on 2nd October. The action against Equifax has a total estimated value of £100 million.


The firm is appointed as data protection supplier to the Communication Workers Union and is currently acting for thousands of claimants with data breach action against Ticketmaster, Equifax, Marriott International, TeamSport, Dixons Carphone, Yahoo, OnePlus and the Police Federation of England and Wales.
