Our take
Finding a lawyer can be a costly and complex process. Utilising AI to make the law process work for consumers, Alecto is a regulated law firm offering enhanced in-house legal services.
It's starting with property and conveyancing, where it matches consumers with estate agents, financial advisors and property lawyers who’ll work for their specific needs. Alecto ensures transparency and accessibility are at the heart of its processes, equipping buyers and sellers with the knowledge to make informed decisions during the selling and buying process. Avoiding inaccessible legal jargon, it offers a refreshingly empathetic experience that aligns with the end goals of each specific customer.
Alecto’s AI-powered service is new to the scene, but it’s backed by leading investors, including Octopus Group and Firstminute. With its consumer-led mission of delivering value for money and making the lawyer experience accessible, it could well be on to a game-changing product.
