EXCITING NEWS FOR THE UK LAWTECH SECTOR!
We’re thrilled to share that Legal Geek Geek and Codebase, have been awarded an additional £1.5m in funding from the Ministry of Justice to continue our work in growing the UK lawtech sector!
Yesterday, at the UK Lawtech Conference, Minister Sarah Sackman KC MP announced the LawtechUK grant extension, supporting the increased use of AI and technology in legal services – driving economic growth as part of the Plan for Change. She highlighted:
“Lawtech is making legal services faster, more efficient, and more accessible. It is transforming how we work and opening justice up to more people, at lower costs.
This isn’t just a win for law firms, or even the prestige of our legal services sector. Lawtech is also a powerhouse for the UK economy.”
