Our take

Inequality in access to the law is one of the most pressing and important problems in society today. The current system for getting legal help is antiquated, slow, and expensive. Working with a solicitor or law firm is an offline experience and subject to a laborious and slow paper trail, and expensive hidden fees that prevent many people from ever getting fair and equal access to their legal rights.

Lawhive has built an online legal platform, allowing individuals and businesses to work with local firms and solicitors for a fraction of the cost of a local high-street law firm. Lawhive's platform combines licensed, human solicitors with machine learning to automate a lot of the more repetitive work. This reduces the cost of accessing legal help by up to 60% less than the average high-street law firm or local solicitor.

By radically lowering the cost of legal services, Lawhive aims to help everyone on the planet access legal help and to make access to the law a utility, in the same way that access to the financial system is a basic right.
