Eliot Hibbert named one of the UK’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2026
Eliot Hibbert, CEO & Founder of Nexa Law Limited has been recognised as one of The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2026.
The programme was created by private equity investor LDC, part of Lloyds Banking Group, in partnership with The Times. Since 2018, it has celebrated the ambition and achievements of hundreds of exceptional entrepreneurs.
This year The LDC Top 50 attracted more than 620 nominations from across the UK, highlighting the depth of ambition among leaders building successful businesses in every region and sector.
The leaders featured are driven by an appetite for growth that is helping to build stronger, more sustainable businesses and a more competitive UK economy. They are expanding internationally, developing new products and services, challenging established markets and investing in their people.
Together, their businesses generate £1.4bn in annual revenues and employ almost 8,500 people. Headquartered in 55 towns and cities, they demonstrate the contribution that medium-sized businesses make to their communities and the wider UK economy.
Nexa Law is a consultancy-led law firm, firmly embedded in The Lawyer Top200 and built around experienced lawyers. Established in 2017, Nexa provides a platform for lawyers to build and grow their own practices while accessing the infrastructure, technology and support of a modern law firm.
With more than 200 consultant lawyers across a wide range of legal disciplines, Nexa combines professional independence with the resources of an established legal platform.
Eliot Hibbert, CEO & Founder of Nexa Law Limited said: “I’m delighted to be recognised in the Top 50 of the Most Ambitious Leaders Awards. For me, ambition is about more than growth for growth’s sake, it’s about challenging established thinking, building something with a clear purpose, and creating an organisation that delivers lasting value for its people and clients.
Nexa was founded on the belief that there was a better way to build a modern law firm, and being recognised alongside such an impressive group of leaders is a real reflection of the ambition and hard work of the whole Nexa team. We’re still building, still challenging convention, and there is plenty more to come.”
John Garner, Managing Partner at LDC, added: “What stands out about this year’s LDC Top 50 is not only what these leaders have already achieved, but their determination to keep moving forward. Across the UK, they are finding new opportunities, investing in their people and building for the future. I congratulate every leader featured this year and wish them continued success.”
