Legal Tech Wants You!

Would you leave private practice for a legal tech job paying £150k? 💰

More lawyers are saying yes.

The UK now has 356 lawtech companies, most founded in the past decade, according to the Law Society. Beyond lawtech, AI startups, fintech firms and compliance-heavy industries are snapping up legal professionals faster than law firms can keep up. With AI regulation tightening and ESG rules expanding, legally trained experts are essential – not just for risk mitigation, but for steering business strategy.

Why the shift? The long hours are a factor, but the real driver is opportunity. Legal careers are evolving, and law firms are no longer the only destination.

Thinking of making a move? Here’s how to stand out:

🔹 Leverage your expertise – Your legal background is a unique asset.

🔹 Upskill strategically – AI, ESG and regulatory knowledge are in high demand.

🔹 Network smartly – Legal tech events, fintech meetups and LinkedIn groups are where companies are hiring.
