A £3m Ministry of Justice grant is being made available for lawtech start-ups. 

It will be offered over a two-year span from next April to March 2025 to one applicant or consortium. The aim is to promote lawtech innovation with the objective of addressing unmet legal need.

Applicants should consider how lawtech can make legal services work better for individuals and consumers, how it can increase access to advice and engagement with the justice system, and how can it help individuals solve their legal issues.

Applications open on 2 November and close on 13 December. See here to apply.
