LawTech companies helping UK SMEs with their business growth 

Many SMEs find accessing legal services a relatively daunting, challenging and sometimes expensive proposition. Enter the new wave of LawTech companies which are playing a crucial role for SME and start-up/scale-up businesses – helping companies access legal advice and documentation when either their budgets or people resources are stretched.  LawtechUK, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) backed initiative, is a driving force behind this Digital Transformation in the legal sector while also hoping to boost more entrepreneurial activity and inspire more founders to launch LawTech start-ups.  

“It is essential that everyone can access justice, whether as a private individual or as a business.
