Sandbox selects lawtech pioneers

Five lawtech start-ups have been selected for a three-month pilot at the Lawtech Sandbox.

The Sandbox is a free, government-backed initiative to boost the fast-growing legal technology sector. It will provide the five selected start-ups with access to datasets, regulatory input, tools and services for the next three months to help them develop their products and services.

The cohort joining the pilot are: Amplified Global, which helps customers engage with technical legal information; Clause, which assists the interpretation of unstructured text; ClauseMatch, which helps businesses manage their regulatory compliance; Deep Tech Dispute Resolution Lab, which is developing a dispute and risk avoidance tool; and Legal Utopia, which helps small businesses comprehend common legal documents.

Jenifer Swallow, LawtechUK Director at Tech Nation, said: ‘The Lawtech Sandbox is designed to accelerate digital transformation of the legal sector by providing targeted support to those who are building game-changing lawtech, working alongside them to help raise the bar for business and society.’
