Multi-award-winning Australian law firm Lander & Rogers kicks off the fifth cohort of its globally-renowned LawTech Hub.
Following a four-month global search and application process for startups and scaleups transforming the legal tech space, Australia's LawTech Hub by Lander & Rogers announces its selected cohort for 2022.
Legal techs from Australia, the UK and the US will participate in the fifth cohort of the LawTech Hub following the receipt of applications from across five continents. Over a six-month time frame, the established startups and scaleups will further develop their products which span emerging technologies including AI, machine learning and process automation. The participants will be able to pilot their projects and gain access to the vast networks, experience, and expertise of Lander & Rogers.
Genevieve Collins, Chief Executive Partner of Lander & Rogers said, "The entire firm is excited to welcome five new residents to this year's LawTech Hub program. Disruption in the legal industry is at its prime and I'm incredibly proud that we've been nurturing the world's most promising entrepreneurs since launching the LawTech Hub in 2019.
"This year is especially exciting as we align one of our key firm strategies to the hub—our commitment to the environment. Lander & Rogers is on track to be carbon neutral by this June and at the forefront of carbon accounting in Australia's legal industry. An incoming LawTech Hub startup is using artificial intelligence to help businesses reduce their carbon emissions and we're excited to pilot it at Lander & Rogers. We're also looking forward to welcoming an education platform to the cohort, as education in legal tech is vital to the industry and new lawyers."
